I currently have the following items for sale or trade:

Snails:

Zig Zag Periwinkles - $.20
Cerith Snails - $.30
Nerite Snails - $.45
Dwarf Planaxis Snail-$.50
Fuzzy Chitons - $.75
Black Ribbed Limpets-$.35 (Not the dangerous key hole limpet. Check Advanced Aquarist for an article on this by searching with the keyword "limpet". These eat algae, and cyano.)

For those of you interested in group buys, I can do 500 Ceriths for $100, and that includes the cost of shipping. Can also setup a webpage that would help smooth out the group buy process. Let me know. Anything additional with that buy would come with free shipping as well.

Snail Primer


Name Tank Position (Listed in their preference order)

Zig Zag Periwinkles - Glass, Rocks (may leave tanks without lids)
Cerith Snails --- Substrate, Rocks, Glass
Nerite Snails --- Rocks, Glass, Substrate
Dwarf Planaxis Snail --- Substrate, Rocks (may leave tanks without lids)
Fuzzy Chitons --- Rocks sometimes glass
Black Ribbed Limpets --- Rocks, sometimes glass

All of the snails eat diatoms, algae and cyano.

Plants:

Red Mangrove Propagules (approx. 8 inch seed)- $1
Black Mangrove Propagules (approx. 3 inch seed)- $1

Nice Refugium plants, (mangroves are true plants and not macroalgae) that do not "go sexual" and threaten your ph like macroalgae. They grow very slowly and can be used as a banzai tree afterwards, or in a display refugium. Both have green leaves despite their name, which refers to their root color.

The snails will be small to medium. I will send extra snails to cover the possible deaths that may occur during shipping- instead of an Arrive Alive Guarantee. Shipping on this one will be through either Express Mail or UPS Next Day, (our choice). We probably won't do local pickup because of the cost of gas, time and logistics. Sorry, but we can no other special shipping arrangements. We are sorry, but the confusion will cause problems.

The cost of shipping is $33.00 and that includes the heat pack. Shipping for Mangroves Only is $6 without a heat pack.

Trades:

I will trade for macroalgae, rarer marine snails, and breeding snails. Livestock trades will have to be in the future, probably in February. (Time enough for some of you to grow out that algae and have some for me...?)I am planning a move in January, and will have to clear out the tank at some point. Unless of course you have an extra powerhead, we can do that right away. wink.gif Or a protein skimmer....or a wave machine....I am getting in over my head at this point.

If you have any questions about the species, I would love to answer them even if you aren't interested in purchasing them.
