    :eek: I thought all puffers did but that it was not very 'good' for them especially if it is air that they are inhaling??? :amazed:

    i've heard they are good for getting rid snails, but once the snails are gone they might seek alternatives lol

    Take an airpump and some airline tubing and put it in the puffers mouth and let rip. I'm sure hell turn into a figure zero puffer then :)
