Snails for F8 Puffer

Post by inlovewithdps »

I have a local pond near my house and I know there is a infestation of snails in that pond, so can I use those snails to breed and than use the babies to feed to my puffer. Also how do you breed snails, and would this be considered "pond snails"?

to breed snails you just toss them in a tank, give them some food and water changes. In a few weeks you will have tons of snails
