Update?

Wow . . . about every store I go to here in Denver has plenty of them. They'll just hand them out for free because they breed so quickly.

Example: I started a 55 gal tank last year with 8 . . . and in two months I had over 100.

lyquidphyre, can you ship these soon?

They say they multiple fast even without overfeeding and that clowns don't eat them.

Well, I had 50 or more sent to me and very rarely do I see any though I have seen empty shells. Clowns do eat them, maybe not as easily as they do ponds or rams but nevertheless they get eaten. I keep some in a 20 gallon to breed and add to my 75 gallon tank. Even in the 20 I don't notice a high infestation level yet, but they've only been in there a month or so. The 20 gallon only has like quarter to half an inch of gravel so they're not hiding from me.

rollin_22,

Have you heard anything about these getting shipped? It's been a couple weeks since my substrate was tilled, and I'm getting a bit worried...
