it's great to find this group!

I'm here only several months and don't know well about the fish markets
here. Can some guys recommend some good fish shop?

and my aquarium is full of snails now and I'm wonder if I should buy some
puffers to eat them, but I cann't find a shop to buy them.

thanks!

Hate to tell you but I can't see you so I have no clue where your at.
Fishmarkets are where you buy fish to eat, pet shops or LFS are
where you buy fish for pets...! So I suggest you set down and compose
yourself and make a post folks can actually understand.

Check for Skunk botia or YoYo loaches. I
have both (separate tanks) and they do a good
job of keeping snails in check. Puffers can
be aggressive and some can get very large.
I bought what I thought were two "dwarf"
puffers, that turned out to be Green Spotted
Puffers and soon outgrew the original tank.
Many pet shops can't tell the difference
between different types of puffers when
young, but Skunk botia and YoYo loaches
are hard to misidentify.

Skunk botia remain relatively small - 2" and
very thin. They tend to hide so I make sure
to provide cave-like decorations for them.
My YoYo loaches love hiding in PVC pipe.
They can get to 4" but are non-aggressive.
I have otos and cory cats in the same tanks as
the skunk botia and YoYo loaches and there
is no fighting.

Welcome to the group.
However, you didn't mention where you are located, or even what part
of the world.
So in order to help further, you'll need to say where you are located.
Also, list what size tank you have, how long it's been up and running,
what fish you have in it, and how many of each.
Is it heated, filtered, and what's your water change schedule like. Do
you have hard, soft, alkaline, acidic or neutral water will help as
well.

Look for privately owned stores. They're always my first choice. Second
choice are the large chains such as Pet Supermarket or PetsMart.


and my aquarium is full of snails now and I'm wonder if I should buy some

When I added a few clown loaches to a snail infested 55g tank the snails
were soon history

Thanks a lot.
yep, It's what I worry about that puffers can be aggressive since I have a
lot of young mollies ...
As what you said, I think Skunk botia or YoYo loaches maybe better choice.
