I'm wondering if anyone has an abundance of snails in their aquarium. I had snails, My pufferfish has eaten them all even the adults so no more food for them so I need to setup a breeding tank for them to create a uneaten supply if food.

If you do and want rid of them and wouldn't be opposed to rounding them up and posting them to me (I shall pay) I would happily give them a loving home in the form of the belly of a pufferfish.

Hi Bob,

I cannot help but I used to have puffers, a couple of figure 8's in a brackish tank (went on hols and they were sadly wiped out by over use of air freshener by a relative). I used to breed my own ramshorns in a bare bottom 28ltr tank with air driven filter.

What puffers you got? Lovely intelligent little guys

I've got pygmy puffers. I thought the adult snails would be safe from them and they'd just eat the little ones but they scoffed the lot. They really are so intelligent, you can see them working things out and already recognise me as the bloodworm deliverer.

Love the pygmys.

Ours were like puppies, hand fed and person followers. I still miss them to be honest
