Pea puffers don't eat the whole snail they just tank chunks out of them lol

I would have a snail colony set up before purchasing snail eating puffers, or you can just buy a bunch of snails. Setting up my snail hatchery is one thing i wish i would have done earlier...

If you need some wisteria come over I can trim some off for ya. Just some root tabs and it will grow like crazy.

You don't need a lot snails. Just grow them in a bucket or a small tank. Mine eat mostly dwarf shrimp if they can catch them and frozen blood worms.

a 55 gallon you could put 6 to 10 pea puffers in there and probably get them to breed.

It looks great. I may have to look for that when I redo my 55 here in a week or so. Gotta figure out what to do with it now, that all the other fish are moving out. Wife would probably like the puffers. But if want a hoard of snails established first. Thoughts?

It's Wisteria and amazon swords. I trim the wisteria back about every two months.

TINY!! Nice FTS. What kinda live plants you got going in there. I like how it fills the tank nicely. Do you have to cut them much?

Took some more pictures. The fry in the breeder box is starting to look more like a puffer. Here is hoping the fry in the tank make it.

The rest of the pictures are the adults. The males are the ones with the red fins.

So the parents are quite small fish?

Yea they don't get big at all...

Can you post a picture of the tank the fish are in? And maybe a picture of the PP's? The babies are cute.

I will try to post some pictures later today.

oh geez I want a pea puffer in my community tank with platies and neon tetra and a shy betta XD... but I'm scared that it'll attack my zebra nerite snail XD

if you like snails than pea puffers aren't for you they will eat the face off the snails lol
