Just buy the escargot snails, pass to ForeverFront -- u will get clean shells. terms and conditions apply. may need to boil shells in hot water before use.

A pair of tweezers and a pot will serve you well

My God! Cichlid Experience turning to Cookery Experience already

Anyway you all cook, eat or throw away the snail meat, most important thing is to be very sure of the cleanliness of the shells before it goes into your tank(Important).

Hi bro,

I suspect your ocellatus is not the gold varient, but the 'blue' one.
There is this varient that looks the same except for the brown coloured with dark patches on its body and is commonly sold as gold occelatus.

Take a look at the pictures below and hope you can see the differences.

Neolamprologus ocellatus gold



Neolamprologus ocellatus blue
Notice the blue sheen on its body.
