I bought a Pea Puffer

[Jennifer_R]

I've got a ten gallon with five dwarfs. I have a five gallon and a two gallon just to breed snails. It's hard to keep up. Feed them 2-3 at least 3 times a week.Crush the larger ones first, so they will eat their shell.

Ohhhh, man! "Crush their shells first"... oh, really?

I'll have to try the snail thing in a "little by little" type of experience before I'm comfortable crushing a snail... uugggg! )

I wanted to let anyone who was interested, to know I picked up a dozen free snails from PetSmart and put them in my Puffer's 5 gal tank.

WHOA! I think I'll get more! My Puffer really went wild with the snails! Puffer just sucked the snail right out of the shell!

Great advice on the snails everyone!

Thanks!

UPDATE!


Hum.....

The left over snail shells, after my puffer eats the soft snail, is growing fungi (I think it's fungi).

Anyone have advice for this one?

Thanks,

Just remove them.

Just remove them.

Good advice. Any uneaten food should be removed from a tank as soon as possible. Even things that are seemingly inert, like snail shells.
