Tbh I don't have any experience with mystery snails but hopefully someone will chime in soon.
I was looking into mystery snails a few years ago while trying to find a snail that my goldfish wouldn't eat (for the record I didn't find one). From what I remember reading mystery snails are among the few snails that aren't asexual, you need a male and female for them to breed and sexing them can be a pain as you're looking for a little tube thingy under the shell. How easily they breed once you have a male and female I've got no idea.
What about the little "pond snails"? I don't know what their actual name is, but they'll breed infinitely as long as there's enough food for them, and you only need one to begin with. Only thing is these guys don't get very big, the biggest one I've seen in my tanks was about the size of an Australian 5¢ coin so if you're getting a larger puffer these guys might not cut it.
A pic of one, this guy was about the size of a woman's pinky nail and cruising along the waters surface which I thought was really cool.
