Feeding Puffers snails...

[theweirdo]

Is this a possibilty? They have shells which would be good for the puffers teeth, and they are live, like puffers like. It would save me a lot of money, feeding a puffer snails instead of shrimp and hard-shelled sea mollusks.

what kind of snails are you talking about

I feed my v. puffer little snails from my freshwater tank. They multiply very quickly, so I never run out.

i asked if i could do that in my post under fish bordom. what kind of puffer do u have

 

[theweirdo]

I don't know what type of snails, and my tank is in the middle of cycling, so, I'm not sure about what type of puffer I should get. I have a 2" sandy bottom, so I probably can't get a dogface puffer (right?). So, I was thinking either Stars & Stripes or bluespotted.

Cherrystone clams cost about .34.

what does the 2" sandy bottom have to do with it?why not? :notsure:

I could have sworn that someone on this board told me that dogface puffers cannot be put in tanks with sandy bottoms because they push the sand up and cloud up the tank.

I have a DF in my 175 with 3 inch sand bed very fine at that and no probs whith him clouding the tank at all. He is just a little pig. ate probably 200 zoas and loves krill but I wouldn't trade him for anything
