My first batch


This is my first buy, got it from a german dude, he has some collection, but I was hesitant of investing more. Initially, I found the ampullaria's price somewhat steep being in the philippines and all, but when I browsed the place where he actually got it, it was a good deal. Most of his collection is imported.

These are the ones I got: N. ampullaria (it was spotted, nice and tubby), N. alata (farely cheap being farely large) and N. x ventrata (cause this was his cheapest).

I thought I'd test my thumbs on some small ones first then I'll get some of the more complicated stuff he got.

Still searching for other local sources...
