Question about pest snails
Every time i put pest snails in my tank for my puffer they never ever come out of their shells to move around. Also, they always end up going missing from their shells. Im pretty sure my GSP is just slurping them out but i was wondering if there was any reason they wouldnt be moving around any? Could they know theyre in a tank with the killer? lol

Re: Question about pest snails
The GSP I had used to slurp the snails right out of their shells, so that's most definitely what's happening. They're probably afraid to move with him around. Snails seem to understand perfectly that pufferfish are natural predators.
