I've seen a green puffer put down about 20 snails or so in a couple hours. He died.

ive been feeding mine about 4 freeze dried shrimps twice a day. i started out with 5-6 but his belly bulged out alot so i cut it down to 4 a feeding. he seems to do okay, hes about 1 3/4 inches long. hes starting to bounce on the top of the water, like he wants to jump, when i go to put food in.


Q: how often should i feed him snails? (giving the population time to regenerate.) thank you!
