I think MTS snails are the ones with shells too hard
I forget...
I don't even remember what MTS stands for:%)
But I know they are the ones that have a spiral shaped cone

Errmm
Nevermind, pond snails are the ones with the spiral shaped cones, and are a good snail for your puffers and very common, too

MTS are malaysian trumpet snails and are the ones that stir up the gravel

I don't know but my dwarf puffer eat any snail of the right size of course. The puffer I have doesn't eat the shell so I don't think it would matter how hard it is. She just sucks them up like a gourmet meal.

Crush the snail between your fingers to break the shell first.

Mine like just the pest snails (the ones that usually come in on plants) and are real pests lol.
