hey all,

just dropping you a line to tell yah that i picked up some conches with my dry goods order( he let me put em together) and they are AWSOME. I have a light dusting of diatoms on my sand (new dsb) and so far since noon today they have cleaned a 5x5inch patch quite well. I highly recommed them i have 2 for my 80gal which only has about 100pounds (or less) of lr so i have plenty of open sand space - and they should do quite a job on it, so you dont need too many of them! just thought i'd tell you guys.

Heard that too... also heard that queens will also eat things you don't want ... like, other snails and stuff like that. How big are these fighting guys, about the same as a turbo or something maybe?

actually mine are quite big, the juvies range from 1-2inches and the bigger ones are 3-5...i'd say mine are about 3 and 4 inches..
