Snails for Saddled Valentini

Post by MatthewLaw »

Greetings All- What types of snails do you suggest for a saddled valentini? I use ramshorn for my freshwater SAP and they love them. I wasn't sure if you recommend a different 'saltwater' snail for this puffer. do you usually crush them up? thanks!!

Those should be good. Available salt water snails are usually too large or thick shelled to be much use as puffer food for a smaller puffer. In the wild SW snails spawn, and tiny ones are readily available, but not so in captivity.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
