Group order from Exoticfish.com

[neuroslicer]

I want to order some crabs and snails, and a couple fish. I'd like at least a couple others to share the order to reduce shipping costs.
I've been very pleased with their service and they've got good prices, and a wide variety of critters.

what snails would be best for me? to keep the glass clean? any word on the T shrits,

 

[neuroslicer]

What "clean up" issues to you have in your tank? What snails and crabs do you have in there now? No word on the second round of t-shirts; I'll let you know.

i only have two turbos now the sand looks good, its the glass,

 

[neuroslicer]

First off, snails won't keep your glass clean. You'll still have to scrape. You should probably have a mix of astrea, trochus and margarita snails. If you have no crabs at all in your tank, I'd recommend a mix of left handed hermits, mexican red and scarlet reef hermits. They sell them cheaper by the 10 or 25 pack, so depending on how many are interested, we can split packs as well as shipping costs. I also recommend a sea cuke and an emerald crab.

does any one want to go in halves with me on any thing?

 

[neuroslicer]

Uh, yeah. I'll be getting snails and crabs. Now it would be thirds or fourths.

 

[teena]

jay have you looked at www.reefscavengers.com they have good prices and shipping free over 99 dollar order. but 23.00 for over night. have heard from alot of reefers on here that say there stuff is great and didnt have any problems with them.

Are Nassarius Snails and Nassariidae Snails the same thing? When do you plan on placing the order?

[neuroslicer]

Nassarius is the genus and Nassariidae is the family. That generally means the snails are the same or nearly the same. I'll probably place the order before mid week. Overnight shipping is the only way to go with livestock I fear.

 

[Zann]

yes i agree about over night

 

[neuroslicer]

I'd still like to go with exoticfish.com. Their diversity of critters is better, and I'd also like to order a couple fish, not available at reef scavengers.
