Which SHELL!?!?!

[Ryan75]

Which shells besides the Neothauma shells (I know they are their natural shells but they are a bit pricey) would be pretty good for some shell-dwellers?

I use silver and gold turbo shell. I order from cichlidbreeding.com I send him 30 bucks and he mails me a ton of them. Just tell him I sent ya. He does have a website you can order from. I just send him money and tell him to send me a mix of the two shells.

I've ordered whale eye, muffin snail and conch shells from them. Very nice shells. I also ordered from markys.com last week and bought 72 clean escargot snail shells. They are lightweight so easy for the smaller shellies to move around.

Most dollar stores carry the most common shells. I prolly have 200 shells that work with the smallest to the largest shellies. Prolly paid no more than 10 bucks for the whole collection.

deeda, you think the escargot shells are clean enough?

ive used escargot shells. A quick boil will quench your worries. Not bad tasting

Are they bigger than the turbo shells?..I am just worried they won't fit in the shells

 

[Ryan75]

Ok what should I do...Buy just escargot shells or get turbo shells/delphinula?

What tyoe of shell dwellers you plan on having? I just toss a bunch of shells in and let them choose. I find they dont like ones that are too large.
