There are horned ones on ebay; reasonable price - however the postage pushes the price up.

One of my LFS stocks the zebra nerites for £1.99 each or 2 for £2.79. However about £3 is average I'd think. If you'd fancy a shopping trip to Newcastle you'd get them; however its a bit far to go (although the shop do post things out but I think it's only on expensive orders) - you could still give them a call and find out though - the shop is Tyne Valley Aquatics; in Mickley.

On a side note: I got one 2 weeks ago; put him in an algae ridden tank (green spot - GRR); after 24 hours I said to myself "pfft people say they are good at cleaning algae". I woke up the follwing morning and the tank was almost algae free - I was impressed. He spent 24 hours on a bridge I have in there and I dont think it's ever been so clean - ever.
