I have never seen any before

Thats them. Pretty cool. Hope i have a pair.
Wow can't believe the price of them. He had about a dozen of them he was going to give me but i only took 2.
Not knowing anything about them, i didn't want to get over run with them.

That's cool. I have seen a few here and there. I like to see a gold one. I think that site is a little high on there prices. They are selling a Don King snail for $19.99 it's a snail with algae on it. If that's the case I should be sitting on a pile of cash! I got lots of snails with algae growing on there shells.

Scott, i've seen rabbit snails but not the black ones.
That sight has got to be crazy priced, who in their right mind would pay that for snails

They have Malaysian Trumpet Snails 12 for $9.99, I think Jon might be throwing out a lot of money LOL. I would like to find the person who would pay them prices. I got a mess load of ramshorn snails. Here I have been feeding them to the clown loaches.

How many clowns do you have Killer?  I have a dozen, and they're like little puppies in a tank!

I have two clowns and a yoyo. I want to get another clown but it's hard to find them at the size I want. It would need to be 6 plus inches. And when I do they want way to much for them. They are goofballs. I don't have a tank big enough for a dozen clowns. that's why the yoyo is in there. I had two yoyo's but it was killed by the other loaches. He was just didn't keep up with the growth and got picked on all the time.

If you ever want to dedicate a tank to them, they will just lay all over each other and swim up and down together and just tumble all over in a large group! I have 12 in a 54g corner tank with heavy filtration and a lot of Java fern tied onto wood.

[b125killer]

They must be small still to have that many in a 54g. What are your plans when they get bigger?

[Ron Sower]

They are about 6'' average.  I've not thought about that so far.  Guess I'll have to trade/sell some off.  I don't have any more room for any larger tanks!
