Hello everyone,
I am looking for some advice. I have dwarf puffers and I need to feed them
snails. The local pet store will give me some from their system but they
are getting frustrated with me since I'm back every week.
It doesn't seem to matter how many I put in their tank, my puffers eat every
one in sight and the snails do not have time to reproduce. Is there any way
I can keep a snail population without having to have another tank?

Snails are rather hardy, so you may not need another "tank" - you
possibly could get away with a rubbermaid container tucked away in a
cupboard or under the bed.

Failing that, you might be able to set up a "safe" area in your main
tank with netting/ tank dividers which keeps the puffers out.

There is also local aquarium societies - some people may be happy to
give you a steady supply of snails from their overrun tanks.
