Nassarius Vibex???

The so called Nassarius Obsoleta are actually Ilyanassa obsoleta snails--- these are mud dwelling temperate water snails and carnivores from what I've read---

Vibex

Obsoleta

You can get these pretty cheap on Ebay--

I am going to assume that we are talking about Nassarius Vibex since those are what we find most of in the hobby.

Don't be so sure... these are sold on EBAY as reef snails... they are definitely not reef snails-- http://search.ebay.com/obsoleta_W0QQfromZR40

I posted the question back on the other board along with the pics... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=7030368#post7030368

I bought some vibex at garys not too long ago-- they only had about 8 left at the time and I cleaned them out of them-- I know I've lost 1 or 2 since I've seen a couple hermits sporting new shells.... I forget what he is selling them for.

I don't think its worth if for me (if they are vibex)-- even gas to findlay and back will be about $8-10 for me....

Anyone know where I can find extra hermit shells??? (on a related note)

My tank - my mantis munches on my snails. If you are willing to reach into my rock structure, you may have some

Stop whining about your mantis

 

[jenghes]

I'm getting a Fridmani Tuesday - in hopes that he'll take on the Mantis

 

[weimers75]

I can't imagine the fridmani would be big enough. If your shrimp has been in there for several years he's probably pretty big, the fridmani would have to be HUGE to eat it.

 

[jenghes]

It's worth a shot..... nothing else is working. If it does not work, I'm only out $25. I spend more than that on cleaner shrimp to feed that Mantis.

 

[Spuds725]

Orchids are great fish anyway

 

[Dubbin1]

How did we go from buying snails to a fridmani???????????????????

 

[jenghes]

You know how we stay on topic here

Fish Doctors are giving be the bargain price of $25 for him Just gotta wait for him to come in

 

[Andrew]

Sweet. Are we doing a group order or something?

 

[jenghes]

Maybe - if you want snails.... contact Dubbin

 

[Andrew]

If theres enough if someone gets me 40 ill pay them. If not ill just grab some at Phishys.

 

[zaireguy]

I would be interest in some snails.

Jen easy fix for your mantis one word big trigger fish.No more mantis..yup yup

 

[Spuds725]

these may be obsoleta-- the seller isn't sure-- he says they don't look like the vibex pics I posted-- just so you are aware...
