That'll be nuts to see your Puff eat an MTS snail. I once put most of my body weight on a small MTS snail to see if I could break the snail shell and I couldn't. Keep you fingers out of the way when feeding :scared:
Are MTS snails tropical as when put in to an unheated tank they aeem to fail??

MTS are a pain lol. They can stay alive in a puddle of mud (I had a tank sit empty with the substrate still in it, almost dried out completely) and when I added water again, the MTS reappeared :shock: .

I got my camera for Christmas as expected. I will load that video this week sometime. Here's a few pics I have on another forum. (ceylon and fahaka)
