 | Buying multis and shells in England |
skinny (ish)   Fish Addict Posts: 506 Votes: 35 Registered: 05-Sep-2003   | I can't find anywhere which sells multis, does anyone know of any shops in England where I can get some? (I'm in the south west) Hardly anyone even seems to know what a shell-dweller is round here ("shell-dweller, do you mean like a hermit crab?"  , let alone the different species.....Also a good place for buying shells for them would be really helpful (possibly online?), I've got hold of a few, but not enough yet.

aberdeen aquarist Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jun-2004  | try your local french resteraunt, thats where i got my escargot shells from and my multis love them. i have a breeding colony of 8 in a 30x18x18" tank with 3m 5f, 3 females currently have fry and the other 2 are setting up to breed!! these fish are great fun to watch as they re-arrange your carefully arranged sand to what suits them!! try to get 3 or 4 shells per fish and have at least 2" of sand for them to dig in, i find playsand to be ideal for them. |
