I find frozen bloodworms the easiest food to feed them though.

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
So it looks like I persuaded my mom to let me get that 1g tank that was suggested for the snails. After I get that set up and the snails in there, I will get two more otos for the 5g. After they have settled in, I will get the puffer.
Then I will have a 1g for snails and a 5g for two otos and a puffer. Sound good? Thanks for all the help! I'll get pictures when I get the puffer!

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
Turns out Petco doesn't have snails. (most of the time)
They don't have dwarf puffers either.
I'm going to Pets Inc. next to see what they have.
BUT!
Instead of getting another tank, couldn't I just put the snails in my 20g and then feed random ones to the puffer? I'll have enough room for them (once the tetras are sold.)
What do you think about that?

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
if there are no fish that eat snails in the 20 G tank, it could work, but be warn that they breed like crazy! 
So you might end up with more snails than you can handle (but then, you feed them to the puffer!).

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
I don't own oto's but the little research I have done on them say those tiny cute algae eaters need a min 10-30g tank. Depends on what site you go to.

They don't eat snails right?
StormySkiez: I already have two otos. I'll probably get two more for the 5g though, because my 20g (where they are in now) has algae too.

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
Swordtail nip at them like mollies do, don't hurt the population much tho.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
Another question: 
When I clean the tank, would/could the puffer bite me? Idk, just wondering...

Re: Dwarf Puffer Info
I just checked at Pets Inc.'s webpage:
Neritina reclivata Olive Nerite Snail $0.99
Planorbis corneus Rams Horn Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Albino Mystery Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Black Mystery Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Blue Mystery Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Gold Mystery Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Ivory Mystery Snail $1.99
Pomacea bridgesi Lavender Snail $1.99
That's probably the only place I'll get snails. No clue what these are. Any suggestions?
