Bro, pest snails like pond snail and trumpet snails will breed readily provided there is enough algae for them to feed on. And puffers love them. So if you are thinking of breeding them to feed the puffer, i suggest a separate tank just for the snails.

You just need a few of these snails add some moss to the tank and wait, they will multiply and you don't need to do anything much.

I have ramshorns and it multiplied crazily too.. my ramshorn created 2-3egg sac overnight. how crazy that is. but not sure if u can feed them to puffer cuz im inexperienced in puffer.

Ramshorn are cheap, 0.50 each at LFS. hope it helps?
