Pufferfish and eadible snails/hermits

Bbentler · 01/23/2006, 02:01 PM

will my dog-faced puffer (he is 3-4 inches long) eat all snails and hermits or are there certain kinds he would be more likely to leave alone. I have a 75 gallon tank.

I have not tried to put hermit crabs in yet but I want to try but I feel badÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ because my old PPP would eat any snail or hermit crabÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Is it good to feed them hermit crabs or snails? I heard you need to in order to keep thier teeth down.

Hmmm...sounds like a smart hermit!!

He is certainly on the puffer's menu, depends on the puffer and the crab. Get a few hermits and let darwin work his mojo, one should make it eventually.
