The Puffer Forum

I'm in the midst of setting up a 10 gallon for some Pea Puffers and my original plan was to keep snails seperate. I currently have 2 Ramshorn Snails in a 1 gallon separate from the main tank. But now I'm having some doubts. I want them to be healthy, but i don't want them to eat my plants.

Would it be better to keep them seperate and throw in a few for the puffers every week
or
Keep them in the main tank with the puffers?

I checked that one too, but the pictures don't show. Is that just me, or have they gone from the articel?

O, by the way: HI!

Yes, unfortunately, when the board upgrade was done, we lost all the Library's photos.

Keeping ramshorns in a separate, 8 gallon tank myself, filtration by a sponge filter. I only keep a piece of driftwood in it and a piece of cutle bone on which they really like to graze.
I also keep some ramshorns in other tanks with smaller fish to have a constant flow of snails.
I don't notice the snails ruining my plants (mostly crypts). I feed them everyday with algae tablets or botia pellets or shrimp pellets. Sometimes I trow in some cuttings of Java moss (Christmas moss) when I trim it back in my other tanks.
I do water changes of 30-50% once or twice a week.
