hit up davesrarefish he carries alot of sweet shellies! Plus hes a honest guy.
im glad u choose shellies. Every fishkeeper should try shellies at least once.
Start with some gold occies, pound for pound one of the baddest fish on the planet

just leave the water how it is from the tap. IMO fish enjoy stable water more than anything. Except for a few fish that is and shellies aint one of em

Check out Shelldwellers.com
Its a forum devoted to shell dwellers and you'd probably find plenty of useful information on there as well as pictures of different species

Really?! how much would shipping be and how could i pay you?
Sure, you could pay me through paypal or something like that, I really don't know how that whole thing works, I was hoping you did :-/. I honestly don't know how much it'd be, I have to look into it. It also depends on how you'd prefer them shipped as I don't know what's best method. If anyone has some insight on this situation, that'd be most helpful.

As for your other questions, Tap water is fine, that's what I use, they're not that picky, and IMO means "in my opinion" (IMHO=in my honest opinion)

Apparently Priority shipping through the post office is the cheapest method. They have those flat rate shipping boxes inside the post office. So then I'd just have to put them in a bag in an styrofoam box with heat packs and that should be it, so it should only be like 20 dollars... That's not bad
