@ I have kept many species of puffer from the commonly referred to “pea puffer”, to full marine puffers and everything in between. They’re my absolute favourite species of fish.

so if I use this for the pest snails, will it eat my chilly rasboras and my pigmy corries ? :)

But what they eat when there is no snail left? Fish? 🤷‍♂️

[@AquascapingAmazing]

Hello @ako3027, thank you for your question! When snails are unavailable, many fish species can be introduced to maintain the ecosystem balance. Look for fish that are compatible with your tank and won't harm other inhabitants. Have you considered which fish you'd like to add to your setup? Feel free to share your thoughts.
