Anyone Have Nerite Snails?

I was going to order a couple for my tanks, but all the places I've seen have minimum quantity orders. The last thing I want is to get a batch of snails that I can't provide a home for. I figure I can give away some, but I don't know enough aquariasts locally to give them away to really.

I have them. I got 12 of them at a not so local LFS. How big/old is your tank?

I have a 55 gallon, set up for a year. I have a 20 gallon, set up for four months or so, but I seeded it from my 10 gallon, which was a year old.

are these the snails that eat algea really well I have never seen them around in my lfs, I might be interested in some, but 'I need to look into them a little I don't know what kind of conditions they need.

Have you tried in your regional forum? There might be some one around your area that might have some....

I`ve been looking also as they supposedly do a great job at getting rid of the BBA algea in the FW tank. I dont do any shipping in the winter so if my LFS does not get them in then I`ll have to wait till Spring time.
