Hello!Do you have a free shipping minimum?
We have a semi-wholesale store.This is wholesale I assume? Or are sales to the public also an option?
Hello!Do you sell quarantined inverts, or raised in fishless systems?
*browsed through the website and didn't see any specifics so if it's there, could you point me to it?
Thanks for the info, answers my question.Hello!
All invertebrates are brought from the wild, but quarantined for at least a week.
There are a lot of videos of this quarantine on the site under almost every product from the live stock.
What specifically interested you?Thanks for the info, answers my question.
Inverts I was looking at have no such video link I can see (on website) but no longer relevant after your response.
Thank you
Trochus SnailsWhat specifically interested you?
I can comment here
These snails do not breed in captivity....
I do not "know" anything,,, just piecing together Internet reading.These snails do not breed in captivity....
If you find captive bred somewhere, let me know....I am also looking for such.
And they survive very poorly in an aquarium, it is better to buy these:
In my 20 years of experience in the marine animal trade, the only good algae-eating snail I know of is the Zebra Turbo Snail. And only they breed in an aquarium. The rest of the species just live for a couple of years and die of old age.I do not "know" anything,,, just piecing together Internet reading.
Really just looking to add some snails that consume a bit of hair algae that have the ability to right themselves.
Most online sellers seem to suggest that "banded trochus" fit that bill - but who knows how many species that label might be used for.
The "breed in captivity" and "ability to right themselves" seems to just be copy/pasted throughout numerous websites. At any rate, these are kind of what I'm looking for:

Thanks again for the info/perspective.In my 20 years of experience in the marine animal trade, the only good algae-eating snail I know of is the Zebra Turbo Snail. And only they breed in an aquarium. The rest of the species just live for a couple of years and die of old age.
There are a couple of smaller species that can breed in an aquarium, but they are of very little use in eating algae.
I do not have them and unfortunately they are almost impossible to find in the USA.Thanks again for the info/perspective.
I don't see the zebra turbo snails you mentioned on the website so will assume you don't stock them.
Thanks,,, I have a "Mexican turbo" (allegedly) that looks exactly like that picture.I do not have them and unfortunately they are almost impossible to find in the USA.
Importers do not import them on purpose, as they multiply quickly and no one will buy other snails.
This is a very good version of cleaners, but they will not breed ....

Need to buy small size, when they grow up, they become lazyThanks,,, I have a "Mexican turbo" (allegedly) that looks exactly like that picture.
He/she burned through nori during QT a few months ago but seems too big to get at anything useful (in terms of cleaning nuisance pockets/areas).
Yes, I see...thank you!Hi, I've just placed my first ever order with you guys!
