For daytime feedings using forceps, I use the same FW home-reared snail as I feed to other puffers: Ramshorn or common pond snails. They never make it to the bottom of the tank before being grabbed by the puffers.

Snails don't last very long at all around a GSP. In most cases they don't even hit the bottom of the tank. Pond snails should be easy to find and will do nicely.
