For me it was the inconvenience of me having to breed and raise snails and shrimp for them. Then having to go outside to pick a few for them. When I got them to eat pellets they were easier, but still needed a snail once in a while to keep there teeth manicured. I don't find them to be more sensitive than most fish. They just aren't as easy as a fish like a betta. I'd get pea puffers because I find bettas pretty boring. Very easy in terms of care, but not nearly as personable as a puffer. If you ever had pea puffers or any puffer for that matter. You can see how personable and intelligent they can be.
Lol. Not hard. I just stuck a bunch of ramshorn snails in my planted tank outside. It was just the inconvenience of it. First having to go to the lfs to get some ramshorn (they can't get at the MTS's) Then having to raise and gather snails and shrimps vs. opening a bottle of pellets. Now I don't have any pea puffers and they have taken over...

What is this post?[QUOTE = "crayfishguy, post: 7536384, thành viên: 71.117"] Vì vậy, tôi đang nghĩ đến việc nhận được fluval, ban đầu như là một nơi để đặt một Betta đã được khá nhiều đã bỏ tôi. (Đội bơi / waterpolo tôi mua cho họ như là đồ trang trí cho bữa tiệc của chúng tôi, và tôi không thể để cho nó đi với một người nào đó để ở trong một bát) ... Tôi vẫn có thể đi con đường đó, hoặc tôi có thể sử dụng thêm năm gallon cho nó, và đặt một cái gì đó khác trong một fluval. Bất kỳ suy nghĩ về thả? Hoặc với Betta hay không? Tôi thích loài kẻ lập dị. Tôi cũng không có kinh nghiệm, nhưng có rất nhiều người cá tầm tay mà có thể giúp đỡ, và đã có hồ cá cảnh trước. Tôi đã suy nghĩ puffers đậu? Nếu không có sự Betta tất nhiên. Có lẽ một số tôm với Betta?
Cảm ơn chàng trai. [/ QUOTE]

If only the issue of parasites didn't exist... I'd be set for snails for life. My brother works at PetSmart, they're everywhere. I used to (stupidly) put puffers in our community tank, so I'm already in love with them. Finding a freshwater species that could tolerate my lack of experience is an attractive prospect. If I were to allow a snail population to flourish in the tank, would that be suitable, or would they simply kill all of them off?
Pea puffers would definitely not allow a dense enough population to exist in your tank. As stated before raising your own snails and shrimp is pretty easy. I found it rewarding enough to raise shrimps and snails in a planted tank and bucket outside for them. When they get to adult size they look and act pretty awesome! Especially in a Co2 planted setup. But just putting a betta in your tank and having a little container of betta pellets is much easier.
