12 GSPs??? You must have a HUGE tank!
Try Ebay, Aquabid or go to Petsmart/Petco & clean them out of their pest snails.
Or breed them yourself: library/feeding/basic-snail-breeding/
There are also other crunchy foods you can feed them: library/feeding/feeding-your-puffers/

I breed petco's "pest" snails. I think they're tadpole snails, not sure. They do better in planted tanks, they're always breeding. You should have eggs in 10 days or less, but it'll take about two weeks before those are breeding. Once I tried keeping a few large ones as breeders (they don't get much bigger than 1cm), as they drop a lot more eggs but had a massive die off, it helps the gene pool if you give them all a chance to breed and only feed the larger ones. Overfeed the tank like a kid with his first goldfish and they'll be fine but cycle a lot.

For snail breedong tanks heavy feeding and lots of water changes will keep a house full of puffers happy.
