Breeding Snails for a Fahaka Puffer - Info Needed!

I also purchased a juvenile Fahaka from Danny at TNT (great seller), and was hoping to breed some snails as food. I currently have my Fahaka in a tank with what appears to be hundreds of Malaysian Trumpet Snails (they had already been in my 90 gallon tank when I had my African Cichlids in it). I've heard that these snails have shells that are too tough for Fahakas. That being the case, is there an ideal snail to breed and if so, how should I set up the breeding tank and with which species of snail? Any info would be appreciate.

As stated in the other thread about fahaka and snails the MTS will be ok for him he will only be a 3" fahaka for about another week or two then he will be a 4" fahaka a couple weeks after that he will be a 5" fahaka.
My 5-6" fahaka can go through any MTS I have as well as clams and muscles. They have stronger teeth than small puffs because they eat bigger tougher food than smaller puffs.
honestly the easiest way to feed my fahaka is bloodworms and an occasional large shrimp or clam.

Yeah, I think I only fed my fahaka 1-2 snails in his life. He ate 2 giant fiddler crabs today though. Crunch, crunch!
