Big Al's London "turbo" Snails

[GanderGreg]

Does anyone know what kind of snail they sell as "turbo"? I called but they didn't know.

Most I've seen have been Mexican Turbo snails, I have them, I like them, but I swear they play games with knocking down frags, every morning a fresh batch are rearranged.

They said they have Mexican turbo and regular turbo. The Mexicans are too big for my tank. They said the regular turbos were $5.99. Seems too steep for the regular turbos to be astrea.

They may very well be Astrea; The cost of livestock has skyrocketed since Covid. Although, turbos are a fairly big family of snail, could be one of many.

Something like 4-5 types of turbos. I have a couple trochus turbos that are probably 1.5x a regular trochus. They breed like crazy too

Hi, Sorry I didn't see this until today. Tapatalk isn't giving me notifications apparently. Anyways the turbo I ordered was called white turbo snail or turbo sp. They are from the Philippines. They are also 4.99 right now and that is because shipping right now is double what it used to be.
