Does that little unidentified one come out from the right side? If so, I'd say he's a young trapdoor snail. Google it and see if he looks the same to you.

Dwarf puffers need a minimum of 5 gallons of good filtered and heated water not 2.

i did say "if it is bigger than 2gals"



you can keep dwarf puffers in 3gals per puffer but it aint recomended.

what are the dimentions of that tank. looks a lot bigger than a 2.5 gallon....hec looks alot bigger than a 10 gallon

It's 2.5 US gals, 9.5 litres. I take the photos sitting on the floor so there is no flash reflection and it kinda makes the tank look bigger.

EDIT: Thanks for the comments everyone.

 "Yes, diluted copper is toxic to all invertebrates. A strip of copper metal, on the other hand, interacts with the snails slime causing an electrolytic effect which is similar to an electric shock."

Wow! Didn't know that! I wonder if the snails know not to touch it?
(But I would still be worried about the copper dissolving in the water and killing all the snails or shrimp off.)


Say SPLiSH, can't you buy any feeder shrimp around you? Feeder shrimp may not be a good looking as some of the other shrimps (like Amano) but they still are pretty cool.
