Anyone know where I can get some small snails for my 3" Fahaka puffer, the only snails I can order that are small enough for him are the albino mystery snails and they're like a dollar apiece wholesale. I have shrimp and mussels for him, but I think the snails are best for keeping his dental plates worn down, so I'd really like to get those. Thanks!
Where can I find some small snails?

Try aquabid. Or ask on MFK, sometimes some people are nice enough to send some pond or ramshorn snails for just shipping.
This thread has some good information about obtaining snails: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=321919
Just go to any Petsmart and ask them for snails. Take them home put them in a small tank add food and wait they will start breeding like crazy and you will have endless amounts snail.

i was just about to say the same thing, their tanks are usually crawling with small snails, and they will give them to you for free.
Thanks for all the tips, I actually work in a small business pet shop and we got some snails in with an order of ghost shrimp, actually, and started breeding. I took a bunch home and put them in a tank but I haven't really noticed them breeding. I also started feeding him small crayfish, since they have pretty tough shells. My Fahaka bites right through them like it's nothing.
