Default Apple snail population control in Eclipse tank

puffers are actually a sal****er species that is sold in the LFS as
freshwater types.


Also note that we've never had a problem feeding the puffer. It eats
snails, worms, and about everything else that we've heard is normal
for a (freshwater) puffer.

Well in a way my reply had to do with care and feeding of the puffer
without the need to fiddle with apple snails or any other snail that
can get our of control fairly easily. A few large nassarus snails that
have young in a marine environement would be all that puffer ever
needed...but evidently the "correct and propper" way to care for those
puffers is not a concern of yours.
