Where do you guys buy your shells? I can't find them anywhere!

I've used this ebay store/seller many times; the shells are perfect for shellies and the store is great to deal with and ships super fast!

I had multies and use snail shells. I used to go to the LFS and ask for the dead snails, boil them and my little shellies love them.

Thanks Voodoo!.....I just ordered some.

I think you'll be pleased with your order, Andos.

They're food-grade escargot shells, so you know they are fish-safe. They're light enough for the fish to move around in the tank (unlike the green turbos I used to supply my shellies with). Plus, my wife says they're "kind of pretty" so they won't ugly up your tank.
