Which to Buy - Queen Conch or Fighting Conch?

[euphoria]

I have decided to buy 2 conch's from this site. Which should I buy, the aquacultured queen conch or the fighting conch? Which does a better job of cleaning the sandbed and causing less havoc to my corals that sit on the sandbed?
Thanks

I would get the aquacultured fighting conchs because the queen conchs get really big.:yes:

agreed queens get real big just ask bang guy. i would go with the fighting unless you have alot of room for the queen.

Fighting it is

How big do the fighting conchs get...? 2-3 inches...? Bigger ...?
I ordered two for my tank..they're advertised as 1", they weren't quite that..How big can I expect them to grow...?

Squidd - did u order them from this website? If so, were they in good condition? I've never ordered live animals online, so I"m hesitant.

I ordered one for my tank through this site... it arrived in good condition (theyre somewhat hardy) and it took to my tank easily. It is about 1.5 inches. Looking back, I shouldve ordered more. Keep in mind that the conch withstanding, most animals are going to be pretty stressed after 24 hours shipping.
