Thanks for that generous offer Cliff. I am helping my Dad in Michigan with this issue though. I suggested he pick up a pea puffer out there. Thanks again.

If you'd like to borrow him to clean out your tanks, I don't think he'd mind a field trip. I'm not positve he'll eat the small flat snails (although, there are definitely none in the tank he's in), I'll try a test tonight. He stalks pond, ramshorn, and trumpet snails relentlessly, and has completely eliminated the snail population within a few days for each tank I've moved him to. I keep him with Guppies and Mollies with no problems, but I wouldn't recommend putting him in with anything you'd be overly worried about damaging...he used to harass another male Pea Puffer I had quite a bit...and they can definitely take chunks out of things (as they can chip through snail shells...).
