Just a word of warning, I had a Nerite snail in my main tank for around 5 months and it didn't get bothered by the clown loaches (max 4" big). Then I had a spare one so added it and it lay upside down on the the substrate, which must have told the clowns that there was food inside, as they ate both within a few days, arse! That's 5quid down the loach! I tried adding some to my middle tank which has Burmese loaches and they got very interested in them so took them out.

These snails are not, repeat NOT loach proof!

If you want some more I have three which I am looking to move on? Possibly a bad idea though! Two are quite big at ~1" the 3rd is smaller, maybe 1/2".
 
If you're wanting to get rid of them then I'll certainly take them off your hands :) I have two non-loach tanks that they would happily find a home in.

PM me if you want them, not sure the best way to send them, probably something with guaranteed 24-hour delivery?
