F/S, Malaysian Trumpet Snails

I've got a bunch of these guys. I know that there have been numerous posts of people trying to get their hands on them in the past. They're great for stirring up sand beds, and I've never had them eat any plants (of course, I've also never had my pond snails eat any plants).

I'm "selling" them in groups of 5 for $1. Really, the cost is just to cover shipping materials and postage. I will not accept Paypal for this, as it would cost too much to redeem the $1 for it to be worthwhile to me. I will take cash (one dollar isn't likely to get lost in the mail) or a check.

Because pet stores don't often sell these guys, this is meant to be a way for people to start their own colonies. Even one MTS in a tank is likely to populate it, given time (they breed asexually). Five pretty much guarantees you'll have an endless string of them.

One caveat, because this topic has produced a number of people trying to bypass the B/S/T rules in the past, I will not sell MTS to anyone who contacts me, either in this thread, another thread, or in my visitor messages, before they have 50 posts. This is, in part, to avoid having to delete a whole bunch of messages, but it's mostly to remind people that the 50 post requirement is a rule that we need to keep. If you don't have 50 posts but you want snails, take some time to ask some questions, answer some questions, or post pictures of your fish, and then contact me afterward.

It's not quite warm enough to start shipping yet, but I want to get an idea of who needs them, so I can get the shipping supplies ready.

I will take 50-100 of them but see who else wants them first better to spread them around. I will trade cories for them if you like or just mail you the money.

I have been looking for these as well. How many do you suggest for a 75G?

Depending on how many people are wanting some of these, I'll likely have to limit the stock to 20 or less. It might even have to be 5, if enough people ask (another reason I'm starting early). I'd rather "seed" a bunch of people's tanks than completely stock two or three.
To give you an idea of how well they can stock a tank, I dropped three into my 10 gallon betta tank. Within a month, I could see over a dozen of them at any given time.

I don't mind a seeding. Keep 'em under control for a little longer.

I wouldn't really call it a market. I'm not going to be making much off of this enterprise.

Okay, temps are warming up. With what I've seen in my tanks, I will be able to get some to everyone who's asked here. I can't promise a full stocking for everyone (Redkahuna, I'm looking in your direction ), though. I will begin PMing people soon. If there's anyone else who wants some of these little guys, speak up now, or it'll be a month or two before my tanks are stocked enough for another harvest.

I'm interested in 5 or 10 if you still have some! Just let me know if that will work!

Hello Sirdarksol.

Do you still have any more? I'll take 5 of them.

Thanks,
Elodea

Crud, so I apologize about the extreme delay on this. Life happened, and I haven't had a chance to get together the shipping bags. I'll be PMing people soon (I hope). If you already have some, don't feel bad about it. I'm not doing this to make money (that's why I sell plants )
