I'd ask for some but I know that they are small and I'd likely suck them up during WC.

..about the size of a dime +/-.....I just bump em out of the way....I get some smaller ones, but no biggie....if they run out of food they'll die off...if I can remember, next box your way I'll send you both a bunch to play with.....start en in only one tank til you get a 'home base'...move, if desired, to other tanks.....baby bn tend to sometimes suck em out of the shells..
