Want To Buy WTB Anubias Nana &Petite Nana and Mosses

(Edited: August 18, 2021) I want to buy Acute Bladder Snails. This is primarily for my 10 gallon aquarium.

I am also interested in eventually buying: Phoenix Moss, Flame Moss, Brazilian Waterweed(Egeria densa), or Crystalwort. I am also interested in Anubias Nana and Anubias Nana Petite. A spare Java fern or two would also be ok.
I am willing to wait for someone to grow-out the plants, especially the mosses. I may have to wait until spring or warmer weather before plants can be shipped.

Edited: I was finally able to receive some 'pest' Acute Bladder Snails.

 

I hope it's ok for me to bump this after a few months, I am still wanting to buy and haven't heard back from anyone yet. I hope to get 'a lot' of Java Moss and either or both kinds of snails. The other plants would be nice to have in addition as the same package, if possible.

 

I don't know if she has any java moss currently, but check Assorted Fish And Plants Want To Sell - | Buy, Sell, Trade, Free 410425 to see if Mcasella has the rest of what you need. She has Malaysian trumpet snails listed as free, but there may be a charge for them if that's all you're getting.

 

I've got java moss and small golden mystery snails available. How much moss do you need?

I would be comfortable to start with at least 1 'bunch' densely hand-packed into a golf-ball size. I only need enough Java Moss to survive and eventually 'fill up' a 10 gallon aquarium. Depending on the price (including shipping&handling), I can take up to however much stays submerged in 1 gallon of water.
I'm not particularly interested in golden mystery snails, but thank-you for the offer.

Great, may I ask what color they are? Do they have any 'pattern' on their shells? Would you be willing to show me a picture of them?

They’re a beige color with a darker pattern. Here’s some photos:

 

I'm really sorry for taking so long to reply back everyone. I still have a job and somehow managed to be busy with my time outside work too.

 

No problem! Are you still looking for these?

 

If you're still looking for these, I can send them to you free (if it's in the US, and warm enough not to need a heat pack for the journey.)

I have brown/white MTS, bladder snails (ramshorns as well), and I can spare a gallon-sized ziplock bag's worth of Java moss (not densely packed). Can probably pull off a daughter from a Java fern for you as well.

Fair warning that the Java moss will be coming from my outdoor livebearer pool, so hitchhikers are likely - mainly would be scuds (Hyalella azteca amphipods), detritus worms, and/or baby snails (ramshorn and/or bladder). Potentially also a baby cherry shrimp, or even sword or guppy fry, if I don't pull the moss all apart and go through it carefully before putting it in the bag.

I haven't seen any planaria out there (all the plants in the pool did originally come from my indoor tanks, which are free of planaria); but, the pool is outside, so I guess it isn't impossible. I can quarantine what I take out for a week or two before sending if you want, or you can quarantine it yourself when it arrives.

This is what the snails look like:

MTS - they won't be as large as this pic, but to show how big they can get. Underwater the lighter part will look more white rather than gray/blue; as with the second pic (showing a bunch of smaller ones surfaced out of the substrate at feeding time.)






Bladder snail - unfortunately like most bladder snails, the pattern only really shows up when you look closely. From a distance they tend to just look dark brown.




Feel free to PM me if you're still interested in them.

 

Thank-you so much everyone. I'm keeping in touch with Oriongal.

Is this offer avail? Might be interested.
Do the ramshorn/mts/bladder snails reproduce if they're alone?

Snails I always have. Java moss, available but probably not as much as listed since I've sent out some already and am holding some for OP. I can spare a handful or two though.

Snails...let's see if I can get it right without going back and referencing. Acute bladder snails are hermaphrodites and can self-fertilize. Ramshorns are hermaphrodites and cannot self-fertilize. MTS are male and female.

But...you can still get many out of one with all of them. Ramshorns can have mated before you get them, and so produce viable eggs. MTS are livebearers, so you can get a female already carrying eggs/young. MTS are prolific breeders if food is plentiful, they'll outpace ramshorns and bladder snails both.

Alright. I'll gladly take the Java moss. do you have any other plants you're giving away?
I'll pass on snails.

As said in the fair warning of my post, the Java moss is coming from a pool that has bladder and ramshorn snails. There will likely be one or both in the moss, I can't prevent that. Scuds are also likely, I definitely saw some in the bowl I collected the last bunch of moss in.

You can kill scuds by immersing the moss in a 50/50 peroxide and water solution for 10 minutes or so, but that probably won't kill snails. You'd need to quarantine the moss or treat with something that will kill snails if you don't want snails.

Shipping would probably be Saturday, providing you're not in an area with freezing temps.

alright. sorry then, I must've skipped past that part. I apologize. I think I'll pass

 

I apologize for taking so long to provide another update. Thanks again to Oriongal, I finally have Java Moss.
I am still interested in Acute Bladder Snails. I might get some more types of mosses if they can be sent with the Acute Bladder Snails, even if it is bagged separately.

Edited: As of 1/3/2021, I'm still interested in Acute Bladder snails, and possibly some of the other types of mosses or plants listed in my orginal post.

 

I'm still interested in buying Acute Bladder snails (as of March 29, 2021). I want somewhere between 4 to 10 of them.

Edited: We may have to keep the winter temperatures in mind with shipping the snails. I won't mind waiting until warmer weather if needed.

 

Edited: I was finally able to receive some 'pest' Acute Bladder Snails. I am still interested in buying the plants, especially Egeria Densa. I'm still hoping to buy these plants as of April 2nd, 2022. I will have to wait for warmer weather to safely have them mailed to me though.
