FS: RCS, Ramshorn snails, Hornwort, Mini Water Lettuce (photos) - For Sale or Trade

dgphelps · 08-03-2008, 03:47 PM

Red Cherry Shrimp (neocardina) $1 each
Ramshorn snails (common brown / spotted) 8 for $1
Hornwort $3 for 3+ inch strand/bunch (floating, low light - fast growing)
Mini Water Lettuce $3 for 7+ plantlets (floating - divides quickly)

Shrimp shipped USPS Priority in 7x7x6 box lined with styrofoam and nestled in shredded newspaper for $6. Plants and snails shipped the same but lined with cardboard, not styrofoam.

Shrimp will be various sexes and sizes from approx 1/4" plus. They will be shipped in a breather bag with plant material to hang on to. I always add a couple extra shrimp to every order. Plants and snails will be shipped in heavy ziplock bags with air and very little water. (Snails will have some plant material to cling to and will be fasted.)

My tanks are 73-75F, pH 6.5 - 6.8, KH 1, GH 4-6. Please feel free to contact me with questions about care, compatibility, growing tips, etc.

My RCS at feeding time.

RCS and ramshorn's.

The nice roots of floating water lettuce. Great for fry and shrimp!

How many snails do you have?

dgphelps · 08-03-2008, 04:02 PM

Around 30 if you count the smaller sized ones I think. I haven't counted them all out. I'm planning on laying a trap tonight and putting them into a floating breeder as I catch them.

Bump up for a nice guy and a great shrimp breeder. I recommend him.

I'm interested in 20 RCS if available along with 1 portion of water lettuce.

Any issues with shipping to the east coast (Connecticut)?

Thanks,

Lamar

None at all. I've shipped successfully to Florida, New Jersey, Arizona, and South Carolina recently with no doas. (To clarify, I haven't ever lost any enroute) *knocks wood

I ship the smaller sized shrimp as I've read this greatly improves survival rates.

Sounds good to me. Accept Paypal?

Hi do you ship to Puerto Rico

dgphelps · 08-05-2008, 09:39 AM

Yes, I just looked up Puerto Rico and shipping Priority is not a problem. The flat rate priority appears to be $8.50 according to the USPS website and they claim it will get there in 3 days from California. Please let me know what you are interested in buying, I want to check to see if plants are able to be shipped there. From what I have read the shrimp are fine.
