In search of: Snails

Summer · 10-16-2011, 11:53 AM

I've been advised to seek out some malaysian trumpet snails. Need low price, I'm a poor girl lol

Also, in the realm of cheap, starts on low light plants

I would send you some if I lived close, but I'm afraid I don't, there must be someone on here who has some that's close to you. If you buy plants from anyone on here ask if they have MTS, they would probably throw in a couple. I got mine years ago when I bought a fish at the LFS and asked them if I could have a couple of snails too.

Mine came free with plants I purchased from the LFS. (unknownist to me!) :D

Do you have a LFS? These things are usually pests. May be able to get some for cheap (or free) at your LFS.

Careful of other snails that might come with plants though, I've gotten freshwater limpets, ramshorn snails, and pond snails from plants before. And MTS, but I asked for those.

I asked but the only thing she gets is mystery snails.

I have a healthy supply of them. Unfortunately they are not legal to ship out of my state. But I am putting up a post for some blue apple snails that are legal and I could fail to check the bag for mts.
