I bought 10 apple snails from my LFS to feed to my Puffer fish. Sadly my puffer doesn't seem interested in eating them. He's still young and I think he'll turn on them when he gets a bit bigger.
I've decided to keep the snails. I've popped one in my cold water tank, as I know they can't breed asexually and will let him grow. The others are still in the puffer tank. The puffer is brackish and in an SG of 1.005, can apple snails survive in this? I am also unsure if I need to feed them anything or will they just eat the left over bloodworm and mussel I feed my puffer? I would also like to breed them as I'm sure my puffer would eat the baby snails, is there anything I need to do to get them to breed or just wait and hope?
Any help would be appreciated.
