Can dwarf puffers eat endler fry?

So I have a 15G planted tank with four pea puffers. My life and joy. I also have a 5G tank in which I breed snails to feed to the puffers.
Last week, my snail supplier offered me a free pair of endlers. I have considered them for my 5G snail tank, but being livebearers, I know that they will breed. My idea was to take the endlers, and use the fry as occasional live food for the puffers.
Can/should I do this? Has anybody had success with this kind of method?

Thanks for the welcome!

Ah, that's unfortunate. I figured since they enjoy murdering small creatures so much that they would get s kick out of hunting slightly faster prey instead of just snails.
