Re: Please help!
All 3 are wonderful looking Ecuadorians. The 1st and 3rd pic are still in shells most likely carried with them from their native home, but the 2nd has changed shells somewhere along the line.

That's cool. Yeah, the 1st and 3rd won't change shells, even though they're too small. The 2nd one has changed shells dozens of times though.ImCrabby wrote:All 3 are wonderful looking Ecuadorians.

Re: Please help!
It is hard to get large Es to switch out of these shells, no matter how badly they are beat up. I found a place in Canada, and I think it is New Brunswick, that has Natica shells from their homelands that they liked. The only other kind of shell I have luck with are Turbo Peths.

Re: Please help!
Here is a link to the site. He has thousands of shells. Look for shells that come from South or Central America. Those are the preferred E shells.

And here is another I buy from. He is in Argentina so he has access to many E shells.
