Hi!
I am the proud owner of a Pig Nosed puffer fish (TETRADON SUVATTI). He resides in a 29 gallon glass aquarium with a Penguin Bio Wheel Power Filter 200B. His water conditions are great. Nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, P.H. 7.0, and the temperatures kept at 78 degrees F. He has “regular (meaning of size, shape, and natural color)” gravel, a medium piece of driftwood, and two (2) large Amazon sword plants. He gets fed 4 times a week. Either live Red Claw Crabs or frozen Krill, and feeder fish as a rare treat.
My problem is, I have an infestation of very rapidly reproducing snails. I believe they hitched a ride on the live plants. I have tried many different things to get rid of them. Leaving zucchini in at night and removing it in the morning with many snails attached. I’ve tried manually killing them. But nothing even HELPS. And the puffer isn’t interested in eating them.
I was wondering if it would be safe to use “Had A Snail”, which is a copper treatment. I was concerned that it may harm “Mr. Puff Puff” because he is scale less. I know to remove the live plants and carbon from the filter. Are there any special dosing requirements with puffer fish? And if I cannot safely use this product, is there something else I may do to get rid of these eyesores?
Thank you for your time,
Mary & Mr. Puff Puff
