I am looking to get a few Malaysian Trumpets for my tank, I've read and heard they are great for a sand bottom tank I just can't find them anywhere would any one know where or can get some or does anyone have some they want to get rid of?

Thanks,

Gin

I'm sure someone here has some they'll pass along to you, but if they don't you should try AquaBid.com

I just bought 50 of the "fancy" kind for $4. Total of $10.5 with shipping.

Roan how many safely fit into a tank? I am also interested in getting some (after my tank cycles) but on aquabid people sell them in such large quantities. Do they add to the bioload much?

When I decided that I wanted some MTS I just went to the LFS and looked at the gravel in all of their tanks until I found a tank that had some. I asked for them and the guy gave me 6 or 8 adults for free.

I have a ton, I end up tossing them when I feel there are too many. Where are you located.

Hrm, I just divided them into 4 batches and threw them in my tanks I seeded the parva tank lightly, because I have clowns in there and wasn't sure if they would eat them or not.

I think I put about 10 in each 75g tank. I don't think they take up much of the bioload, I didn't get a burp at all in any tank.

Try your LFS. One near me just gives them away, as many as you like.

I am located in Kincaid IL, I would pay for shipping. My major problem with going to the LFS is there isn't one unless I drive for about an hour and with work and classes I am taking on line and still taking care of kids, house and husband I don't make many trips that far, most of my purchases have been online, except for the fish I have which my Son picked out with my Mom and that place has went out of business...I wouldn't go back to them anyway with what they sold and told my Mom and Son.

Do you want me to p.m. you for my info? Just be sure to specify to who ever you have ship them to go to the FRONT door, Roan had sent me some plants and they went to the back (my back is fenced in and the dog runs out there all the time), needless to say when my husband let the dog out he didn't see the box and when he let the dog in he saw the box completly demolished, chewed up and all over the yard :rant2:
