Pond snails or ramshorns are best, the ones the size of your puffers eye are best. Welcome to the forum, tell us about your set up.

Oh thanks. I just have a 58 gallon tank with glass cats, tetras a rainbowshark and two corys. My puffer is a little baby still, about 3inches long. So far he is friendy, untill he decides to eat othe fish ill transfer those others to another tank. Spaking of pending fish death, will he eat guppies now?

You will wake up one morning with just a fahaka, nowt else. That's 99% certain. This guy will need min 120g for himself, and trust me moving a large fahaka is not fun, I learnt this from experience lol. I would upgrade ASAP and defo at least get the slow fish out of there as they will be the first to go

Upto 18". Start a new thread about your fahaka in the hospital section, remember when you do to answer all questions in red.
