I got 4 snails at Progressive... i think 2 are turbos and 2 astrea. They are doing a good job of taking out the algae on my back glass. Sorry to hear about your tank. I've never had that problem, knock on wood. :D

I've had great results with large Mexican Turbo snails - Turbo fluctuosa.

They lived quite a while for me, > 2 years. The only problems I had were they are large, so they can knock over frags and plug overflows if they get into them. Though the majority of time was spent on the glass.

If you had someone in Pensacola who needed to order some things you can have them order it and get free shipping. I think they do free shipping over $50 orders in florida.

I'd say it would be a good idea for folks to post on here about doing group orders if they know they are planning on ordering something. Even if you only get 1 or 2 other people it can make it worth it if you can get to a free shipping limit or just split shipping.

Please let me know before you order. One of the snails bit the dust, one i can't find and may have as well... the other two seem happy enough. I was thinking of adding another fish as well.
