I need snails badly.. I lost a lot of mine to the recent tank "crash" as well.

Need a variety, and I don't know where I want to order from yet.. we can all figure that out if there's enough interest. Hopefully there is because my tank needs em badly!

I've been looking for a couple of emerald crabs, and haven't seen any locally, so if you do an order I'll add those in. FYI, J&L is offering free shipping on livestock orders over $300 (not sure how much longer). I just don't need enough myself to come close to that but possibly as a group order.

Alrighty, well I only really need some snails and I wouldn't mind a true peppermint either. We'll see how many people we can get in on an order.

I was in that new salt water store last week (red coral aquariums). He had lots of snails in stock but I can't remember what kind (I know they weren't turbos). Anyway they were regular 4 bucks each but he said if you buy more than 10 he would sell them for 3 bucks each. My tank is small so for me that many is to much but you might want to check out what he has.

Thanks for the heads up.

3 bucks is still to much, if someone does an order form somewhere that has a decent amount of snails ill be in. ive talk to hidden reef and they are getting in a large invert shipment in a week and are suppose to have lots of snails.

None there right now. That kinda stuff is pretty vanilla and common though.

do you find that snails actually do anything in your tank? when i first started i kept about 100 snails in a 90 gal and they where always on the glass, now i have a 200 gal and no snails. i dont see a difference.
seriously maybe i just got lazy snails but in my experience they dont clean anything. is my experience the oddity or the norm?

I need snails that are more prone to eating hair algae.. I think they are mexican turbo's and another kind.. I forget the names. These are the kind I'm after...

I do find snails help... film algae or patches I get on the glass is taken care of by my snails.. they definitely don't make a huge difference by any means. I just want some that will tackle bits of sprouting hair algae. I am sick of sea hares as they always find my intakes.
