I have plenty of them, tiny to large. Large being almost 1/2 inch in length. Want to get them out of my tank. I am in Howell, about 1-2 miles from Parkway exit 91 and Herbertsville Road.

Sure,

Are you in a hurry? I have some 'outlaws' in Brick right off that same exit. I should be heading down there in the next week or two.

Are there any more left? I could really use some for my new tank and heard they're breeding machines.

Yes there are more, had a no show. They are breeders, just like rabbits!! Was trying to get local's to pick them up. Was trying to avoid shipping and you are from Long Island. I don't know how I should send them.

how far south are you in new jersey.. i dont know where howell is but I know the way to holland tunnel or north side at fort lee very well.. I'm guessing I'll have to head on to the NJ turnpike from there. Worst comes to worst I'll pay for shipping, fedex/ups ground would get here in 1-2 days max so it would be fine, I've tested it locally before.

I have to visit a friend there this weekend.. so let me know :)

I need as many breeders as possible for my tank and I'll pay for generosity.. could use the strombus, stomatella, more peppermint shrimp, any plankton/phytoplankton/pods cultures you may have, etc... let me know.

Will you be around tomorrow afternoon? I am headed to Lakewood. I would love to get some snails. My tank crashed a couple of months ago and need some clean up crew items.

Let me know.

Well, 3 people did get some snails. And I got some base rock in the process. :thumbsup: I like to be able to share and give away something like this and to meet others! I do have some very small, I guess juvenile snails left that should get big enough in a month or so. Sorry, GROSSR but nothing left for now. Will repost when whatever is left gets alittle bigger.

Alti I work at HUMC and i could use some snail. Let me know how much you want for them and when I could go pick them up. I don't know how far you are from the Hospital but I could go during my break.

Have some more snails, enough for 2 people but I'm saving some for GROSSR. So, if any one person wants some, let me know. I live in Ramtown in Howell about 2 miles from exit 91 GSP. It's gonna rain this weekend so I should be around if anybody wants to stop by.

Great snails for reefr, they will reproduce over time and you would be amazed how many of them come out at night.

I originally bought them from IPSF (http://www.ipsf.com/strombusfaqs.html). I could not find a pic for now on the web. They lay small egg sacks on the glass with 3-4 eggs inside. They did this in my tank after only being my tank about 2 months. My tank was only 3-4 months old at the time. They keep on multiplying. I have enough to divide them up between 2 people. There are very small ones in the tank so I may have some more available in the future as well. How bout boxfishbruce and Edwin for now. I'll see what I have left after that.

Henrystyle : I do the same thing, except I send a PM to the person, saying I know it has been a while but, .... This avoids getting a bit of grief.
