Hi, I'm new to the board. Surprised

I just recently purchased a few figure 8 puffers. So I was wondering what food i can feed them. (i got recommended some frozen cockerills), so I purchased them, I was wondering what else I could possibly feed them. I heard there beaks get long and can dye! So what type of snails can I feed them. (I live in U.K). Anyways thanks.

I believe any small snails would do. Figure 8's are brackish and from what I've heard tend to be kinda picky in their diet like most brackish fish.

Cheers for the information. Will my L.F.S (Local fish shop) sell snails? Do fish aquarium business sell them etc. Thanks for your help anyways.

P.S I managed to get them to feed from my hand today!
