| I dont know if they are any thing like the porcupine puffer, but we would feed it deli shrimp (with shell still intact to help their teeth). He didn't eat our snails or tiny crabs and he was a good size. |

| thanks for the info hes a little smaller then a porcupine puffer shrimp might be a little big for him. i noticed some at my local pet store they had in with there plants so i was gonna see if they would flip me some since they are basically a burden on there plants so maybe they will be happy to give em to me. worth a shot. lol |

| i have tons of red ramshorns ..literally they breed like bunnies on crack in my guppy breeder. im in Skagit Vally and cant drive to far though...so i might be to far to help. but i could give up a few adults you could breed in a small tank, and a huge had full of babies. i normally let them grow out in the tank to about pea size than scoop them out by the handfuls ...hold for a while for more growth and smash them in to a paste that i freeze and feed to my fish. (top corner of the pic has there holding pen)..healthy snails. even get blues out of these guys.   |

| Can I borrow some of your loaches???? I have a huge snail problem in two of my tanks & can't afford to buy any. The ones I did buy didn't even touch the snails in my tank before dying. Please let me know....
