The Puffer Forum

I have plenty of Rams & MTS if anyone is wanting to start a colony for their puffers, etc.
I'd offer some Mollies, but that's just too expensive for cheap fish.

What snails do you have that you are willing to trade.
how many of yours for how many of mine, etc etc...

I'm looking for assassin snails at the moment, but I like all kinds of snails. The odder, the better.
Of course any snails I want to keep are going to have a home in my snail tank.

Nobody wants MTS for their puffers.

What color are your rams?

I have lots of colors actually. It's just hard to tell until they're big. I know I have some blues and albinos.
But, mostly reds and leopards. Some are almost black. Most of my blues died before they reproduced. I paid a lot for the blues too :-\

That's why I posted this in the "Non-Puffer Aquatic Discussion" section

I kinda wish I hadnt started keeping MTS. I actually bought all the snails that I have.
I bought 100 trumpets snails in march and now have prolly 5000.
I bought 20 rams in march and now have prolly 1500.

I was breeding them for the puffers. So, I overfed them on purpose. Ooops.

FYI, my DPs have been eating MTS, but only larger ones. I find empty shells all the time.
But, they definetly prefer the rams.

watch feeding adult MTS they are known to crush the dental plates. i would especially watch with smaller puffer species. although if your finding empty shells it sounds like they learned to just get the meat out. but theres still that risk so be careful. younger MTS might be a better choice if you feel like they are your only option

I hadn't planned on feeding the MTS to the puffs. They were there as cleaners. I assumed the puffs would go after the rams and ignore the MTS since they don't even bite shells. They are DPs, they just suck the snails out, I have yet to see them even attack the shell. But, they decided to suck the MTS out of their shells also. They suck the rams out of their shells also. I wish they would eat the shells

Cleaning out snails this weekend. If you wanna trade, I'm loooking for pond snails or assassin snails.
I'd be interested in other snails also, just lemme know whatcha got

I have tons of MTS & a lot of rams.
