Nassarius Snails in So Cali?

[luntiz]

I live in the Los Angeles area and am willing to drive 20 miles+ to pick up some Nassarius Snails. I cannot find them at the [acronym:2f29c56130="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:2f29c56130] I've been going to and do not want to order online because of shipping cost. Thanks in advanced!

We got ours at Tong's Tropical Fish in Fountain Valley, we had a hard time finding them too because most Fish stores including Tongs don't list them as what they are, Tongs had them listed as Sand Snails. I haven't been there lately so I'm not sure if they have any. Since you are in LA, I know Jeff's Exotic Fish has quite an assortment of snails, don't remember if they have any Nassarius, but you can go in there and pick stuff up. Good luck!

I went to Jeff's and they did not have any Nassarius Snails...then again I'm not sure what they look like.

Oh [acronym:b954a26a93="By the way"]BTW[/acronym:b954a26a93], Nassarius Snails eat Detritius right?

Also, do you happen to have the address to Tong's?

Thanks in advance!

I got mine at Tong's a couple of weeks ago, and they were listing them as Nassarius Snails on the tank.
They are VERY cool!!!!
I got 5 to try them out and am going to go back and get 5 more.

edit: the Tong's in HB/Ftn Valley, off the 405 just south of Beach Blvd.
