just what the topic says. How large should the snails be for my dwarf puffers? And what other food is good for their diet. Live brine? Well thanks for any input.

depends on the size of the puffer. For a full grown puffer anything bigger than a pinky nail will work

for a dwarf puffer, you don't really want huge snails. i'd say that even a pinky nail sized snail would be too big for a dwarf. i usually go for snails about a few mm in size at most.

I can't say I recall hearing anything about size - but pond snails seem to always be highly suggested.

I've read that the larger snails are a tasty treat to them. They suck them out of the shells.

frozen blood worms are very good. i just got a dwarf a week ago and it was trying to feed him flakes, freezdried bloodworms, shrimp pellets and algae wafers. i didn't notice him eating any of them. tonight i went and got frozen blood worms.....thawed a few and he went crazy. first time i actually saw him eat anything.
