[Mgamer20o0]

very nice putting stuff up too. if you have something you dont need this is a very good idea to get rid of it and let someone who is in need get it. great thing about this is you dont have to have something to get something. RAOK Random Act Of Kindness meaning doing something nice for no other reason. this time of year when everyones wallet is a little light its a great idea. ill have to find some stuff to give away my self.

Have a great Christmas all!

[H3D]

Snail stuff

2-3 orders - 8oz Calcium Chloride - Same thing as Kent Marine Turbo Calcium. (http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~action~view~idProduct~KM3371~idCategor y~FIADCADC~category~Dry_Supplements-Calcium-Additives___Supplements-Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies~vendor~.html)
It can also be used in freshwater. I use it for my tropheus duboisi and for most of my snail tanks (snail only tanks, or tanks with fish that aren't bothered by hard water)

1-2 orders - 10 MTS - I'll try to get medium sized ones, between 1/4 and 1/2 inch

1-2 orders - 5 Ramshorns - Honestly, some may be more orange, some maybe more red and others are more of a pink, but I won't be able to pick out specific colors, because I'm pretty bad with picking/guessing shades. These will be about pea sized, maybe a little smaller, but will grow rapidly with good care.

3-4 orders - 4oz Snail sticks - Ken's Catfish Pellets, but they work better for snails than anything else. These things hold up extremely well in the water without dissolving into a nasty mess.


You can mix up and grab one item, or a few, but preferably only one of each type, to give more of a chance to other people. Shipping will depend on weight and zipcode, but will most likely be $5.55 (that includes delivery confirmation). Like, one order of calcium and one order of snail food will be exactly $5.55, no matter the destination. An order of each type of snail and the snail food would be $5.55, but if you order one of everything, then it'll probably bump it to the next weight class.

I *MIGHT* put a trapdoor snail (should be dime size, maybe a tad smaller) or two in an order or two (for any state), or possibly even a bridgesii (should be at least pea sized) in PENNSYLVANIA orders only! If you wish to receive a Japanese trapdoor snail, please specify, but I cannot guarantee that you will get one, even if you ask (they may not even be here by the time I ship out the packages!) If you live in Pennsylvania and are ok to receiving a bridgesii, please specify, again, I cannot guarantee that you will receive any bridgesii. If you don't live in Pennsylvania, please don't ask for a bridgesii, I do not have permits for out of state shipments and refuse to ship illegally (for the snail's sake, as well as mine and your's).

**I will not ship until after the holidays. Shipping will most likely be on the 5th of January, to avoid loss and delay in the mail.**

[snoopy65]

I have a boat load of airline. I would say at least 100 ft. It was my mother in laws oxygen line and there is enough of it that she was able to go all over the house. It is the same size as standard airline for air pumps. I have used a second piece on one of my fish tanks so I know it works for that. I think I can coil it up small enough to stuff it into a flat rate box. I think the rate is $9.80 anywhere in the US.

I also have MTS and red and common ramshorn snails if anyone is interested. (no heat packs though) I can add them in with the airline or $5 shipped.

[FL22]

I have about a golf ball size amount of Java Moss.

**I will not ship until after the holidays. Shipping will most likely be on the 5th of January, to avoid loss and delay in the mail.**

[saram521]

I claim bettacreek's offer :)

[H3D]

I claim bettacreek's offer :)

Which one? He has several different offers.

[saram521]

The last of the catfish pellets, calcium chloride, and 1 group of 5 ramshorns. Bettacreek is a female btw ;)

[H3D]

Bettacreek is a female btw ;)

Sorry BC. :footinmouth:

[Bettacreek]

Rawr, you're in trouble now H3D! Lol.

1-2 orders - MTS - I'll try to get medium sized ones, between 1/4 and 1/2 inch
If anyone takes an order of MTS, I could probably add a smaller amount of the pellets (maybe an ounce), and probably dig out quite a few MTS (but I can't guarantee how many exactly). I could probably also toss in a smaller amount of Calcium Chloride, maybe 2oz or so. I'm just going to make sure that everything fits into the box without going over the 1lb weight limit (including the weight of the box!)

Shipping will be $5.55 (that includes delivery confirmation)..

I *MIGHT* put a trapdoor snail (should be dime size, maybe a tad smaller) or two in an order or two (for any state), or possibly even a bridgesii (should be at least pea sized) in PENNSYLVANIA orders only! If you wish to receive a Japanese trapdoor snail, please specify, but I cannot guarantee that you will get one, even if you ask (they may not even be here by the time I ship out the packages!) If you live in Pennsylvania and are ok to receive a bridgesii, please specify, again, I cannot guarantee that you will receive any bridgesii. If you don't live in Pennsylvania, please don't ask for a bridgesii, I do not have permits for out of state shipments and refuse to ship illegally (for the snail's sake, as well as mine and your's). The first Pennsylvania order who wants one will definately get a bridgesii, either a breeder size ivory male or a young golden of unknown gender.


I had to pull the other order of red rams, most of mine are too small and I only have a few that would be ok for shipping, much less than what I had originally thought.

**I will not ship until after the holidays. Shipping will most likely be on the 5th of January, to avoid loss and delay in the mail.**

If you're talking about the fish that I snatched, they're the smallest livebearer (or one of the smallest), plus they're native to the US. They're also called the Least Killifish. I've been wanting some for over a year now, just haven't really gotten around to getting any.

Everyone who is supposed to be getting a RAOK from me will be having their packages shipped today (if shipping was paid for). If you claimed an offer from me and you don't get a message by the end of the day with your delivery confirmation number and expected delivery date, please shoot me a message so that we can figure out what's up. I have a ton of packages going out and I need to be sure that nobody was missed. Thanks for the patience!

[Bettacreek]

Everyone should have a message now. There was one package that didn't have calcium, and I sent calcium instructions to everyone, so I apologize to the person who didn't actually get the calcium offer.

For those who got trapdoors with the RAOK, they may take up to two days to actually come out of their shells and move anywhere, so give them time!
