Gouldian Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi Guys, My current black cuke is getting to old to effectively clean and stirr my sand bed. Thus have to find some snails to help out. Am looking for Cerith or Nassarius. Anyone who have extra and willing to sell, please pm me for quick sales.

SRC Member remus Posted February 13, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted February 13, 2008 You all should organize one trip to EC to catch the LS. I went there also during low tide to get some snails but that was quite some time ago when i was still young and alway having BBQ at ECP.

adrianlau Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Check out for low tide: Tide Times Find a place along any beach that has lotsa rocks, eg. at the breakwater, and you'll find lotsa snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
