camtang Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 sure was, who would thought a simple website like shells.co.nz would be the answer, obviously not me. any idea of size and shape they prefer. i liked the look of the ones in smideys tank, but i dont know the name of them to be able to search for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 i think i got those from Jen, perhaps she can tell you were to source them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 also ask your LFS's to keep any dead apple snails, they make good hidey holes and the pet stores seem to kill them all the time in their COLD water tanks (grrrrrr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acara Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Have you tried escargot shells? Ask any French restaurants,etc. When we're in the Greek Islands we see plenty of stalls selling shells like the site above. I can't stand them,I'd rather they weren't collected just to decorate someones mantle piece or whatever,best left alive in the sea if you ask me.

Adrienne Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I had to go to Nosh (gourmet health food store) to get escargot shells here in Auckland. $25 for 50 shells! Did the shellies appreciate expensive shells, why NO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acara Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Funny,mine loved them,were apawning like mad,but then that's what shellies are best at! Yours obviously have a bit more taste and class than mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 wonder if the nosh shells were washed with something?, hard to fully rinse out the insides of a snail shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Oh they lived in them fine, but breed, no way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
