any interest in Nassarius or Turbos?

[oilfield safety]

I could take a handful.

[SJSobczyk]

I could be in for some as well!

I would be ordering from here:

there's a few others on e-bay that are similar. Most have really good feedback... anyone had experience with e-bay snails?

does anyone know what the customs/brokerage/duty would be to get these snails from the US?

Note that Nassarius Obsoleta are not the same ones available from most LFS. Nassarius Obsoleta are from cooler waters (much like Margarita snails). I think they behave differently from the "regular" Nassarius snails as well (Nass. Obsoleta actually eat algae whereas the other Nass. Sp. snails are carrion feeders). Just and FYI.

send Howdy.... a message he buys all the time.He knows the ins and outs on that one and I think he still has a bunch of snails left right now too and hermits....

Ok, so after following up on mr alberta's advice, I don't think I'll go with the Nasarrius snails. I'll probably get a bunch of Astrea snails, blue legged hermits and red legged hermits. Here's what should be available after I take some (assuming everything survives transit):

90 Astreas...................... 1.75 each
50 Blue legged hermits.... 1.00 each
25 Red legged hermits..... 1.00 each

If you're interested, and you live in Calgary or south of Calgary, PM me with the number of each that you'd like. I won't place the order unless I hear from enough people to get rid of all of them. First come, first serve.

Also, I'm assuming that most of the interest will be in Calgary so I was wondering if there is one person who would mind being a "drop off" point for me so I don't have to make several trips to the big C

[Skimmer Juice]

I will take 20 ormore.For sure.That would be great.

[hawaiiguy]

So to recap, I will be ordering Astrea snails, NOT NASSARIUS. I will also be getting blue and red legged hermits. For the following people, are you still interested in getting snails or hermits even though my original plan was Nassarius:

G1GY
fishmanty
Tarolisol
oilfield safety
SJSobczyk
sergeantpilot

if so, please tell me the exact number and what kind of invert you want.

Again, here are the prices and quantities available:

90 Astrea snails.............. 1.75 each
50 Blue legged hermits... 1.00 each
25 Red legged hermits.... 1.00 each

stinky, I have you down for 20 Astreas.

Thanks!

Also, I can take them up to calgary but no further. If you're from Edmonton you'll have to come into Calgary to pick up.
