Where are you at, when do you want to order, delivery date, payment? I might be interested if you are not too far away from me.

Sorry, but I'm actually out. I was looking for some Nassarius and it doesn't look like those guys have any. Would you be willing to order from anywhere else?

Check out wetnwildreefs on Ebay. I just placed an order with her the other day. 100 Illyanassa and 100 Nassarius. She sent me about 200 illyanassa, not sure if that was a screw up or not and 110 nassarius. I apparently got a bad batch of nassarius as about 1/3 were DOA. She shipped out an entire new order(100)of the Nassarius all on her dime.

Though I didnt see it in the auctions she will do multiple item shipping in the same package so as to avoid the overnight fee on every item.

Hi Aryeh,

I like their price and product. Also "mnestroy" is also interested. We can talk and decide what we have to buy, when and pickup.

Please send yr contact info Aryeh and mnestroy.

Thanks & Best Regards

I don't like keyscritters as much, I was hoping to get some Fighting Conchs, Peppermint Shrimp, Scarlet Reef Hermit, Cerith Snails.

Do they have nassarius there? I'd also like to get a bunch of cheap snails to feed to my Mantis. He needs something to pound on.

I live in the Wheaton/Glen ellyn area if you want to use this as a pace to ship to its OK.

I did this with a Reeftopia order a few years ago and all worked well. Free shiping with a big enough order.

Let's plan on pickup next Tues. or Weds.

I will pay for the order, if I receive payments by Paypal prior to ordering.
