As for snails. Do you know anyone at all or even ask at a LFS who has a pond.Look in the filter and you will find more than enough to start a tank.

Both links are ok. My only concern is Xmas post might be slightly delayed.

The delay will matter to the snails! You don't want them sitting around a cold sorting office over Xmas they probably won't survive. I'd wait till after xmas. Has nobody got a pond near you?

How about 'hanging around' your Lfs till you see a pond customer. Offer them a fiver and you'll get four times as many snails!!

I think Rocker means well, not sarcastic. Have you seen if you can find other hard-shelled foods for your puffer? I rarely feed snails to mine.
