Do Puffers Eat ALLLL Snails?

[ervinelin]

Hi guys,

I was wondering, do puffers eat ALLL snails big and small or just the babies (or just the adults)?

I have some snails that I want to keep (purple snail and horned snail) and some that I want to get rid of (lots of baby unknown snails).

I've been doing it by hand so far, but I think I might have a losing battle on my hands...

Thanks!

as long as the snail is small enough for the puffer to nibble it will be eaten, I do have several larger horn nerite snail that are able co exist with the puffer.

Just be aware puffers are tails nippers as well....

Hm... so no go for guppies?

Yes, puffers and guppies cannot co-exist without tear in finnages. As for snail control, puffers can clear almost all the snails as long as they(snails) are smaller.

Ok thanks! I'll try to do it the manual way then (remove them one by one)...
