Unfortunately I cannot just make a safe zone in the tank...the
puffers have learned to jump. I did try this but I had to rescue
both parties since the snails had nowhere to hide and I was afraid
the puffer would overeat.
I will try the other idea though...what type of lid would you
suggest? Or do you think it would be better to have an O2 supply?
I don't like the idea of leaving the container open but I don't
want them to suffocate.


You could get a small 'refugium' or similar to float in the back
corner of the tank.

See bottom of page. I have a couple of these to keep feisty or
injured fish in if I don't have a Q-tank at hand, and there is no
disease danger. The floating one would be perfect for keeping snails,
IMO, and it's cheap, too. Your LFS should have something similar.
