Default Looking for plants and snails you dont want/want to sell!

Okay i have a 29g it has some plants and fish, im thinking about adding some other plants to shake it up a little bit, id also like to start some snails in there, trumpet, nerite, ramshorn, pond snails idc any of those, but not really looking for the big mystery/apple snails

Id love to get multiple from one person to save shipping costs, but anyone let me know what you have, id obviously pay shipping the priority mail thing, and no problem paying you some extra for the actual items or gas money, whatever just let me know!

Thanks!

Just for a heads up, you cant get rid of pond snails. They breed like crazy and hitch hike everywhere. I thought I wanted some, now they are kind of an eyesore. But its up to you.

I have some a little of each I got that were hitchhikers off some plants I bought, I don't mind them too much I just pull some out from time to time, they have cleaned stuff in my tank that nobody else would.

I know alot of them can become over run, but its okay, and pond snails are prolly the furthest down on my want list but ill take whatever i can get really i wouldnt mind having a few of each just something to clean up things that dont get it, gravel, i know the trumpets like to move around in the gravel so that would be even better!

Marci if you decide to pull some out let me know, id be happy to take them off your hands especially if you have a variety of them!

While snails can be a bit unsightly, they make a great indicator of overfeeding.

Well as far as plants you know im not really 100 percent sure what i want, i have a large amazon sword, very nice red wendtii, dwarf hairgrass(i belive)

What do you have that does well in a non high tech set up? i do does flourish, and some liquid CO2 here and there but i like easy to keep plants, fast growers slow growers any are fine, maybe some ludwigia maybe, idk what do you have? or do you have like a ton of things haha!

lols i volunteer to send ya java moss for thee cost of shipping lols.. you can see it in the pic of my shrimp tanks.. low tech tanks are fine for it .. I do recommend attaching it to something like lava rock or driftwood though, just use fishing line or even set the rock on the edge of it .

its the stuff on top of the log in the right of the pic, i just let it float in that tank for the shrimps to hang out in .

Assassin snails do a great job at controlling their numbers.

Hi Mr Pat, I may be interested in some Java Moss if your serious, any idea what the shipping might be to Buffalo NY area? Do you also sell shrimp? I've looking to get some cherries but cant seem to find any locally.

6 bucks usually covers the shipping .. i just send it in the small USPS flat rate box. as far as Cherries go mine are just starting to take off .. so maybe about a month before i'll actually posting some up for sale. look back through the for sale threads there were a couple of guys who sell various shrimp.. they usually cost about 10 to ship.. bigger box so it can be insulated and more water with them.
