      You can safely eliminate them by selling them! Puffers love snails. Make a contraption to catch them in to make it easier on you.

        If you want to catch them, use a piece of lettuce. They love it.

          +1 Lettuce or cucumber and to make it easier, put it in a water bottle or a plate, tubberware, etc. They'll be in there and just simply remove. Either that, sell them, or add assassin snails

                smk is selling 20 for $10. I'm sure there are a lot of members that would gladly buy your ramshorn as puffer food if the price is right.

                  I buy 100 at a time for $20 online so as long as you make them reasonably priced, people will buy them from you!
