Please read entire auction and updated Just Me before bidding. Shipping to contiguous 48 states only, (CONUS, not AK, HI, or PR). Tips for a Successful Transaction Read all the information the seller provides so you can make a smart decision. Sometimes there cannot be a TL;DR. If you still have questions after reading everything, or have any special requests, ask before bidding. What you want may not be possible. Check your email, including spam. It's our only means of contacting you. Read the entire email, the last sentence may be a question. Not replying can delay shipment. If you are having trouble receiving emails, you can see messages sent to you through the AquaBid messaging system by going HERE and entering your Username and Password. Make sure the email and physical addresses on file with AquaBid and PayPal are up to date and correct. Check your 10 day weather forecast. Most problems are caused by temperature extremes, both hot and cold. The seller cannot make the package arrive on a certain day. Priority Mail doesn't have a guaranteed delivery date, it usually takes 2 or 3 days to arrive but may take longer. Mystery Snail Clutch Shown below is the clutch you will receive. There are only Magenta and Ivory Snails in the tank, you will get a mix of only Magenta and Ivory babies from the clutch. Magenta, Pink, Light Purple, Light Foot Purple, Peppermint etc. are all the same thing, the body is nearly white with orange eyes and markings and the shell is light with stripes, pale pink when very young and darkening with age. Ivory have the same body but no color in the shell. Over-exposed photos may make them look nearly white but Ivories are more of a creamy color. � � Hatch time is temperature dependent but usually takes roughly about 2 weeks (extremes of 10 to 21+ days) so this needs to arrive before it starts to hatch. What you can expect for babies is shown below. � � These do need veggies in their diet. Collard or dandelion greens are great choices. Green beans and peas are good too. Plain lettuce doesn't really have any nutritional value (except Romaine). Spinach contains oxalic acid which prevents the calcium from being bio-available so I don't recommend it as a staple food. They will eat some soft algaes but I would not call them a serious algae eater, regardless of what others may say about how they will end your algae woes. They like to clean up fish food which has fallen to the bottom. This is important if you ever overfeed. You do not want old food rotting in the tank with the chance that a fish might try to eat it. It's a misconception that snails eat fish poo, sorry, it doesn't work like that. They DO NOT eliminate the need to clean the tank or do waterchanges. Putting too many adults in a tank will increase the maintenance needed, more isn't better. Suitable tankmates include small gentle community fish. Most loaches and cichlids are poor choices. Even if the snail is not killed outright, constantly having their antennas or bodies nipped at will make their lives miserable. In a suitable environment, mystery snails are active. A shrimp tank is heaven for them and the shrimp ride around on them. � � The winner will receive comprehensive care info but not a hatch kit. Briefly, no acidic water, no soft water, no big fish. Temps up to 80F. These make good companions for small & nano fish and especially easy shrimp. � Questions? Click for email. � Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated August 24, 2014. Read it before bidding. Payment is through PayPal only (you do not need an account, just a credit card), no e-checks. When paying with PayPal, you must use a shipping address, my account is configured to only accept PayPal Confirmed Addresses and I only ship to the address given in PayPal. Shipping is just postage for a Small Flat Rate box, $5.25. The clutch will be cushioned with poly and insulated with newspaper. There is no room for styro so no shipping to locations with high of 90F and above or 45F and below. I ship to PO Boxes if it's a PP Confirmed Address. Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs. � Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
