Alternate To Mexican Turbos
Hi All,
Looking for an alternate to Mexican turbos as I am told they are from temperate waters and that is the reason for there short life-span in our tanks.I bought about 20 a year ago from ONE OF OUR SPONSORS(that also sells catalina gobies) and they were great algae eaters(my tank never looked so good). Any warm water snails that are in the same league as these guys as far as eating undesirable algae and diatoms Thanks Joe |

Indo-Pacific Turbo. Just ask the vendor where they're getting their Turbo from. Species from the Indo-Pacific are harder to find, but they seem to do well and have even been reported to breed in captivity. There is some info about them available on the Project DIBS website.

Turbo petholatus is usually available from Tonga.Ask your LFS to order some.They have the added attraction of having absolutely beautiful shells.
