Snails Wanted in PA

biomajorstudent

I am a university student doing a project on freshwater snails, and I am looking to set up a small tank with a variety of species and color morphs or snails. I am interested in doing a Paypal purchase of mixed variety of snails. I only need one or two of each, just a good example of the species. I would like...
Apple/mystery snails (pomacea spp)
freshwater limpet (Ferrissia spp)
pond snail (physa spp)
ramshorn snail (Gyraulus spp)
trapdoor snail (viviparus spp)
trumpet snail (melanoides spp)
Spixi Apple Snail (asolone spp)
Freshwater nerite snail (family neritidae)
Assassin Snail (anentome helena)
Giant ramshorn (Marisa spp)
Any other interesting species would be great. Ideally, I would like to get all my snails from one seller, although I doubt anyone has all of these. I REALLY want the limpet, as an example of a snail that doesn't look like a snail. These guys will be put in a nice tank (with the assassin kept separate if I get one), and put on display for a week. They will then be kept as pets, because I personally think snails are pretty cute. Being a student, I'm not exactly rich, so any deals will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Anna.

Ramshorn, trumpet, and pond snails are pretty easy to get. Just get some plants, and there will probably be some already there.

Here are a few people from Aquariacentral.com whom you can entrust to get the snails:
msjinkzd-apple snails
Bettacreek-trapdoors
Arakkis, msjinkzd-assassin snails
Arakkis-nerites

Marisas and spixis should be obtained within your state as these are illegal to ship. Please do not combine both species as they can interbreed with each other. If you want to attempt crossing them, make sure the spixi is the male while the marisa is female otherwise the spixi will get smashed by the weight of the marisas.

I can't find Arakkis on here... :(
