FS FS or FT - Name Your Price - Quilted Melania - Columbia, SC, Shipped

OK, I've got way too many Quilted Melania. As long as you can cover shipping plus paypal fees ($5.55 should do it) name your own price for as many of them as you want.

Probably got 100 of them- but will only guarantee 50 because they can be a pain to locate and catch.

What are Qulited Melania- they're an Olive-coloured snail looks a lot like Malaysian Trumpet Snails. (alot of people call them MTS but they're actually a different species... grow a little bit bigger, different colour- otherwise the behave, breed, eat and can be treated the same).

Most of them are below their full size (about 3.5cm little over an inch long)- they are mainly smallish juveniles because once every three or four months I spread the wealth and look for people that want some and usually send off my largest.

Price for them shipped is whatever you feel like paying me- minimum $5.55 - I will not accept more than $5000 for them. That would be greedy!




Or- if you'd like to exchange something... plants... shrimp... some other type of snail... gold, precious stones... That can be arranged. Let me know what you have. No bladder snails, brown/leopard ramshorns, Guppy Grass, water lettuce, or duckweed though please!

Best I can do without a functioning camera at the moment is this one:





They won't have errosion on their shells like the big one above- and the colour when underwater with the aquarium lights on is a lighter colour... more attractive than the ones above.

Bodies are black but have the same basic shape as MTS or Tylos.

Snails or precious stones eh? I happen to have both on hand. For snails I have something that looks like a black Tylo, will have to get some pics. I've had them for a couple months now, but no baby snails have appeared (no clue why not.)

Hmmm interesting... Are they warm water tolerant and do they eat plants?

Sounds very interesting. Do you know where they came from?

My tank is usually pretty warm for many snails (high 70s to 80)- although if it is some kind of Tylo- they wouldn't appreciate anything cooler anyway. So as long as they're not a coldwater species.

Are you interested in a trade (or were you just commenting that you had them)?

I notice you've got a high marketplace feedback satisfaction- so I'd be willing to send you as many QM as you like- you can decide after you get them how many of the black snails they are worth (if they are Tylos they're probably worth a lot more than QMs)...

I don't have any black trumpet shaped snails- so regardless of what they are they'd add variety to my tank from all these olive coloured snails...

What size are they?
