do not put any puffers in there, they will eat the snails and then fin nip everything!

The only fish i seem to have a problem with the puffers are Neons all my fancy tailed fish- Male/female fighter, BGKF, Oranda's do well with them I've had 4 F8's, 2 Green Spots and 4 Dwarves, all get on well with the other fish in tank.
Oh and river shrimp but they are bought cheap as live food- very amusing to watch all my puffers hunt!!! The dwarves seem to go cross eyed!!!!

Default snails...
Platydoras costatus - Striped Raphael, Talking Catfish

I love these catfish, they will control your snail problem. They are a really hardy catfish, but they are NOT good with smaller fish neons etc.. they will eat anything that will fit in thier mouth . If you have no small fish they will make a great addition.
