What do you shellie owners use for shells and where's a good place to get them!?

Re: Shellie Shells
I got Escargot shells from Amazon. Medium and large, very nice. reasonable too. And I also got a bag of more exotic shells from Walmart. In the home decoration sect. $3,5,8. also very nice accept some aren't usual for shellies. I hear tell you can get them at the Dollar Store too.

Re: Shellie Shells
I started with a dozen escargot shells from a garage sale, then got a bunch from a guy at GSAS and some that my kids collected at the beach, be careful with wild shells they need to be bleached then soaked in tap water for a while before putting them in with fish. But mine have been fine for months now.

Re: Shellie Shells
I bought mine at Micheals craft store, there cheap but most are unusable for shellies and ends up being a waist. You can buy the big bag of mixed shells for around $11 but only about 1/4 or less of the bag are usable for shellies rest are only decoration or stuffed in a storage crate.
