Looking for Nano Conches?

[Micaeltercer]

Hello all, I am in Los Angeles, CA and am looking for Nano Conches (Strombus Maculatus). They are small conch snails that grow max 1/2” and are said to be great for clean up crew as well as breed frequently in the home aquarium. I have only seen threads that are a few years old on this site listing them for sale. If anyone has any or knows any info on acquiring some, please comment below so I can buy some. Thank you!

sorry! I had no luck but I don’t think I looked hard enough. we should apply our efforts to find some. I saw some users were selling these before because they had so many extra from their tank breeding .

they were being sold by ipsf.com out in Hawaii 20 years ago but theyre no longer listed for sale in their packs. The link has description of the nano conch we are looking for. I don’t think they answer their phone or 3mail, you just order and it arrives

I have them, but I'm trying to grow the population right now. If I get to a point where I feel like I can sell some I can let you know. I'm in WA btw.

that would be awesome if you could. I’d pay for Them plus shipping of course. I’d only need 4 I think To start my population whenever you have 4 to sell. I’ve honestly been searching for these for about 3+ years so if you could one day sell me some, that would be a miracle.

Ok I'll let you know! There's a ton of eggs right now, so hopefully it won't be long.

IPSF is very communicative. Shoot them an email and ask if they have any available!

Not to highjack the thread. I would also pay for a shipment of 4. If you don’t mind keeping me in mind as well.

the site says you receive random conches, most of which will end up being tiger conches , not to say tiger conches suck. I have two in my tank and they are hard workers, but me like a lot of us are looking for small conches that can climb the rockwork and glass
