- In this Mid-Month video we look at how easy it is to breeding pond snails for a sustainable source of free food for your amazing Pea Puffer Fish plus we watch the pack chow down on the snails too!

Thanks for watching!
The pea puffers are so adorable!
Oceanic Adventures They so are! Addictive little things. Watching them eat is super cute.
Great video! thank you I have two snail tanks. one with only pond snails (i have to clean quite regularly because of the eggs, no heater but our house is around 19celcius so they lay eggs a lot) I am also currently building a third. I have decided to plant some live plants in the substrate, I am dry seeding tonight! I think because I don't want to disturb my planted tank too much I will keep the pond snails out of the new planted tank. but my goal is to have fish, shrimp, nerite snail and brine shrimp in the planted tank.
Thank you!!!
keep posting I love these snail videos
Pond snails and bladder snails are different types of snails. They are from different families. Thank you for this vid though, I've been looking for everything I can find on bladder snail breeding. Very helpful!
Ambreezy T Oh right. Thanks for the heads up. I have heard them called both but wasn’t too sure.
Definitely subbing to you!
Saw you link your latest video in a group we are both in and this one caught my eye especially!
Chris Bowles Thanks so much! Checking those groups out loads. : )
I enjoyed this very much! Glad to see your child growing, keep up the good work! I didn't think I would find a video on how to grow a snails but sure enough here it was :-)
I'm glad to see the pea puffers are hanging in there. Get well soon little guys!
Thanks so much Lori! Yeah one in particular is struggling still but showing improvement which is amazing. Keeping everything crossed!
I bought a 40 gallon breeder tank before I got my puffer Bought like 40 snails and it’s been a nice little ecosystem senseAlso another really good thing to feed them Our Algae feeder tablets very inexpensive and if you don’t want your tank messy they work nice
Here for the snails lol never had pea puffers, they are adorable though! Great video, new sub 😁
Haha. Thanks Carlie! Enjoy the snails!
@@peapufferkingdom118 now you got me interested in pea puffers 😂 they would be a fun way to control my snail colonies. I just got 3, 30 gal tanks I'm resealing haha something I may think about 🤔🤔
Great video! More please!
I use API General Cure for all my Pea Puffers and Congo Puffers and no issues after that.
Before I get my puffer I’m breeding some snails and I’ve been feeding them carrots and algae wafers. Is that good enough for gut loading? We don’t buy zucchini or cucumber often.
I think that’s plenty for them. Lettuce and spinach is good too but not needed specifically.
Remember we r raising snails to naturally trim pea puffer teeths. For better shells use calcium rich plants. N keep ph around 8 . N use soil for eggs to hide ,so that they breed fast
Hi my name is Molly and I LOVE YOU and your videos
Paige Dudman haha Thanks! They are fun to make. Glad you’re enjoying them.
You earned a subscriber :D
Question: how many snails should you feed one pea puffer per day
Thanks so much! I would start with 5 snails and see if a) the pea eats them all and b) has a nice round belly after the feeding. If it doesn't look particularly full then you could add a few more in. The main issue would be if it's killing but not eating them all the water quality may drop so be sure to fish out any half eat snails by the next day.
Also be sure to mix the food here and there with bloodworms and other foods too. Though I have heard of Peas living very happily on snails only.
Do let me know how you get on! : )
Hello from California 😄 I was wondering if you can and should deworm the snails before feeding them to the puffers?
My 4 pea puffers don't seem interested in eating snails. They prefer bloodworms live blackworms. Is that normal?
Also, can I keep the snail bucket outside?
You have to pick the shells out each time?
Where did you get those amazing drift wood pieces!?
These are spider wood pieces. Great for any size tank. I absolutely love them! Sorry for the late reply!
I tried to just leave in bucks but started to smell bad so now has some filtration on 5gal bucket
im excited, mine come in on monday i have 8 for a 50 gal tank. think thats to many ?
NoPullingOut ! Not at all. You could get a few more. Nice size tank!
doing this for my yoyo loaches :)
I subscribe the first video
I'm attempting to breed some for my Assassin's & maybe Betta tank, got a 10L plastic tank, heater & small sponge filter coming soon. Should I use old tank water or can I just use normal tap water with a drop or 2 of Prime
Love your videos. I am considering getting Pea Puffers myself.
I've heard you have to remove the snailshells when they are done eating. How do you remove those tiny shells? Do you pick it one by one?
Also, what size aquarium do you recommend for 2 or 3 Pea Puffers?
Dicky Liu Hey! Thanks Dicky. You don’t need to take the snails out of there shells. Although if the snails (pond or rams horn snails) are much bigger the the pea puffers eye then they might not be able to suck the whole snails out so it rots in the water slowly. I usually drop in 10-20 a few days before I clean the tank and then pick the shells out one by one. You can use a small dish, let the snails stick to it and then drop in the tank so you only need to pick the dish out mainly.
For 2-3 peas a well planted 10 gallon should work well. Just make sure you de-worm them as soon as you get them home. My latest episode tells you more in what to look out for when buying peas. Thanks again!
I’m keeping snails just for fun what should I feed them and how often
Anything, all the time
My two pond snails aren't breeding, my main tank was almost out of Ramshorn snails because my two Assassin snails just stun them and doesn't eat immediately but I noticed they leave the pond snails alone.
Mine like to eat malaysian trumpets. People say they overpopulated tanks but I cant even get them to breed in my tanks. My other snails have no problem reproducing though so my puffers are well fed. Do h ever feed frozen bloodworms?
Hey do you still make videos
Can Pea puffer eat anything else other than live food?
Omg you are at 65 subs
where did you get the wood decorations?
Just subbed!!
Thanks Olivia! : )
Questions about your Snails breeding tub
1- Snails not need surface agitation?
2- Ammonia will not kill them?
3- Water change is needed?
Hi Thomas. 1- Nope. Had them for a couple of months now and after the first few weeks they are breeding pretty well. A small filter and heater would definitely speed up the breeding process though.2/3 You do need to water change at least twice a week otherwise as you rightly suggest Ammonia will kill them.I now have a bigger glass tank which I will show on a future episode. They also love any dying leaves from your tanks and will lay eggs on them too.
Do you have to change the water for the snails ??
Yes. Once every week or two. 👍🏻
Are they bladder snails?
Yep. I believe technically pond snails are different but pretty much sold/given away as the same thing in stores.
I heard you can’t feed them mushrooms?
Or tomatoes?
@@alymetz2020 I haven't heard of anyone using those as food so i'd probably avoid. Greens are better.
Can u mail me some snails
