They usually sell for at least $20 and require, in my opinion, 50gal each to keep them from 'head butting' each other... whenever mine cross paths they try to ram each other with their shells until the little one retreats.
I will have to agree. I have 3 in my 300 and they do a terrific job. I also have 20 small cowries also and they are good also.
