RE: [GSAS-Member] Snails!



Trish, I can bring you some endlers. I have a bunch of swordtail babies too (and more are popping up daily) if anyone wants to trade anything for those. They are different types. Some are from orange parents, some from green parents, and some from the brownish/green wild type.

I think I may try some of those Pea Puffers, they are
sooooooo cute!

I do have an abundance of snails, they are the
maylasian trumpet snails, I can bring you whole bunch
for you Holly.

Also I wanted to know if anyone has any spare female
endlers they would be willing to trade for some males.
I think I have about 6 males.....they are young and
are now coloring up. The ones at school just had
another batch,, so I am sure I will have more soon.

As to the Pea Puffers, can they go in as small of a
tank as a 5 gallon? and if so can there be 2 or 3 in
there.

Thanks!

Trish
