Looking for nerite snails! (planted tank) - Aquarium Advice

7Enigma · 09-06-2006, 09:13 PM

Hi folks!

I'm in the (unsuccessful) process of trying to track down some nerite snails for my moderately planted tank. I have a good bit of green fuzz algae on the tank walls and would love a natural cleaner to take care of this (my Oto's could care less) without making a meal out of my plants. Also would like a couple large snails for entertainment. Just hoping my tiger barbs don't try to make a meal out of them!

Anyone have any of these, or know a reputable place that won't charge me a rediculous amount for the snails or shipping? The 2 store recommended to me have either a very high minimum $$$ order amount or require a LOT of snails be purchased.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried alloddballaquatics.com? They're in Pittsburgh, so shipping shouldn't be outrageous. You'll have to e-mail them, they have nerites, but not listed on the website.
