feeder

anybody in the northern virginia area have any favorite places to buy live feeders? i typically go to pet supplies plus in fairfax, but was told that they're franchising and eliminating their livestock, including feeders. i know of course the big chains have them, but they're 17¢ each there...

i know snails are typically a ubiquitous pest, but i cannot seem to have a "problem" with them infiltrating my tanks. any tips on how to trigger a snail infestation to keep my fahaka puffer happy?

Which auto fish feeder is the best, or most trustworthy? I have a Eheim feeder, but was wondering if there are any other cheaper ones. Nick
