I would like some nerite snails for my FW tanks. ( I'd like around 10-15+)
I really don't want to pay a minimum order and then another 30$ in shipping. Snails for $60 is too much :/
I can only find them in ebay UK or UK sites.
If anyone has any to sell please PM me.
Thanks
Kath

If you are in the US, then try Wilma...
She is great and I have gotten many things from her...

The are brackish/salt to breed, and do very well in fw and don't multiple :)
Hence why I want them after much research on them. They stay small and don't overpopulate.

Have you ever done business with them before?

Yes - Wilma is the best. Never had a problem. Got MTS and Nerites. I know many who have been happy with the Bettas and driftwood...

Shall I assume that you are in the USA? We have zebra, tiger and ruby nerites available readily here, but I very much doubt that they would make it across the border into the US with the new APHIS regs.

Yeah that's part of the problem I've had is that most of the carriers of other types are out of the US. In UK or Canada.
So for now, I'll settle for these olives until someone in the US gets the types you listed that doesn't have a 29.99 minimum order and 30+ shipping on top of it :)
Thanks,
