Malaysian Trumpet Snails

Hi all.
Is there anyone who has some Malaysian Trumpet Snails that they want to sell or give away?
I will soon be planting my tank and have heard that they are great at keeping the substrate healthy.

TIA

 

Darryn I'm sure I could spare some - where are you in Parklands? We're going through to Henk sometime this weekend so I'm sure I can drop off for you if you like.

 

i actually saw some today at a LPS, asked if they sell them, (keeping in mind that they are apparently also blacklist or illegal or something) and they said, nope, dont sell them

When i said i was looking for some they said, oh THOSE snails, yes we sell them,,, R2 each...

 

Thanks for the offer Veegal. I don't expect you to drop them off by me, I would be more than prepared to fetch them from you.
I will PM you to arrange.

 

The LFS near me just gives em away...

Got mine from my uncle though, he has hundreds of them in his discus tank. All I had to do was just pick them off the side of the glass. I must have over a hundred in my tank by now, but I hardly ever see them since they generally stay under the gravel.

Do MTS eat fish poop, coz I swear that I have less poop on the gravel since I got them?

 

You have a pm Darryn

 

They sound like a handful

Thats way off. I think you need to stay away from that LFS. Who on earth sells Malaysian Trumpets?!
