Happy Snails- for a while, anyway

Post by mrgreen »

I got my DP, Squirt, some tiny snails again. These are in the tank on the glass now, but one got munched right away. These are 2 of 5 - when they were in the bag. I rarely see snails out of their shells because they are terrorized by the puffer. At least 3 are happily sucking away at the glass in the tank.

Those look like Malaysian Trumpet snails...be careful that you're not feeding big ones to your puffers, as their shells can be quite hard and you don't want your puffer's teeth to get damaged.

Thanks. They're ITTY BITTY though. Hard to tell in the pic. Those guys are long gone. I just put in a new batch of "regular" ones. He's having fun terrorizing them now.

I squish MTSs before feeding them to my DPs. Anyway, DPs usually go for the sucking approach, rather than the smooshing approach, from what I've seen.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
