I've heard of people getting shells they sell for escargot off of Amazon.

I've used 1/2" PVC rubble as well - basically scraps of 1/2" pvc cut into pieces...

I like the more natural look in my tanks, i dont use PVC unless im breeding centrals.

Michael's crafts or other similar craft stores have tons of shells. I would just soak them first. They sell them for pretty cheap, too.
Personally, I like clay flower pots and think they make a cute addition to planted tanks. Michaels has a better selection of those than Home Depot does - go figure!

You can always go to a place that sells saltwater fish. I used a lot of turbo snail shells from the saltwater section of a fish store. Just boil them before using to get rid of any hitchhikers or parasites.

Not really too natural looking but it makes catching them a lot easier than real shells!

I buy most of my shells from cichlidbreeding.com. Not the least expensive choice but some great shells

I went the Amazon route when I had Shellies.

I went to Michaels and found some shells for cheap and they filled the floor of the aquarium.
