Just a heads up that J&L has a couple hundred fighting conches for those that are looking.

It would be nice if one knew ahead of time. I just got two from Jayson, which by the time I paid for shipping they cost $20.00 each. :mad:

Oh'day. I'll be there tomorrow. I've been waiting forever.

Any idea on how they should be stocked in a tank? I heard one or two is good enough for anything under 50g.

[LostMind]

general rule of thumb is 1 per 2' of sandbed I think.

my sand bed is only 1cm deep is that to shallow ?

each conch should have 2 ^ft of opensand bed. I had two in my tank and once the algae settled down there was only enuf to support 1 of them. I recomend only 1 in anything smaller than a 90 gal tank.

if you have a fair amount of open sand it should be ok, mine is only 1 cm to 1" deep and he is doing fine.

How much were they?

[ltay]

Does that deplete the sandbed fauna ?

[1628]

They are 6.95, 10 or more cheaper

if you concider diatoms, and other algae's fauna. then yes. as for bugs and such no.
