The terms shell dwellers or shelldwellers, shell-breeding, or ostracophil are descriptive terms for cichlid fish that use the empty shells of aquatic snails as sites for breeding and shelter. The terms have no taxonomic basis, although most shell-dwelling cichlids are from Lake Tanganyikas lamprologine lineage.〔Loiselle PV. (1994) The Cichlid Aquarium, Voyageur Press, ISBN 1-56465-146-0〕 Many shell dwelling cichlids are popular with fishkeepings and are frequently kept in aquaria.〔 ==Shell origins== In Lake Tanganyika the shells inhabited are from the genus ''Neothauma'',〔 while shells used by ''Pseudotropheus lanisticola'' in Lake Malawi are from genus ''Lanistes''.〔Konings A (2001) ''Malawi cichlids in their natural habitat'' Cichlid Press, USA.〕
