    I've had my Pea Puffers in that tank for over a year, finally getting the snail population to a manageable level. Ill make a video one of these days about rams horn snails latching onto a sleeping guppy at night (they like to sleep on the bottom of the tank) and eating its flesh off its tail while still alive. I had to pluck the snails off of two thirds of her body. She still lived for a few days but was just too damaged to make it.
