I found a huge pack of shells in the crafts department at Walmart. They were many different sizes, colors and shapes. Its great fun to watch them change shells!!! Just be sure that the shells are natural and don't have any varnish to them. It's also good to boil them for a few mintues before putting them in the tank (I foudn that one out after I dropped mine in) Good luck!

If you don't get lucky locally then there's always ebay.. I think I saw a pack of 75 for around $5.

Just got back from my arts and craft store, they have a mesh bag of shells. I pick one up few bucks, but the shells are a little to big, Im headed over to wal-mart to see what they have...........See photo

You'd be surprised at what size shells they can use. I have a pair that moved into shells so big I couldn't figure out how they were moving them around. They grew amazingly fast and are looking ready for bigger one's already. The ones that moved into marginally larger shells than their old seem to be growing at a fraction of the others rate.

I put the shell in the tank, I guess they just not ready to move
