Hey Guys,
I would be interested in some conchs. J&L should seperately charge cards for the order. I did an order with Deb, and that is what they did.

Someone should ask him if they're tank-raised or wild-caught.

Probably an excercise in futility. It is very unlikely you will get a correct answer.

Hey Quinn,
They are really small, about 1.5". I would think they are captive raised, but I should have asked.

I thought ALL fighting and queen's HAD to be tank raised due to them being a restricted species? or am i mistaken...

As far as I know, you can still collect fighting conches, Strombus alatus. But queen conches (Strombus gigas) all have to be aquacultured. Bob is probably right though.

Can we get a photo of these guys?
