Pea puffers are so cute! I wish I had doscovered them before populating my 20g fresh with other fish. I do want to eventually have a tank with them. We have a 21g salt water AIO that’s being decomissioned (moved it to a 120) that I might explore converting to fresh water.
I totally get the crunchy pop gushers. We had bladder snails in one tank amd when I was showing my wife how easy they were to squish if we wanted to do manual removal…it burst right into her mouth. She wasn’t happy.
The clown loach we hired to take care of the snails did a great job, but, sadly, then wouldn’t eat anything else and starved itself.
I’ve thought about getting one for the malaysian trumpet snails in my other tank but would hate to see another one go the same way. Although, those trumpet snails would feed them for a long while; feeding time turns the substrate into a crawling writhing mass of spiral shells. They do keep the bottom of the tank clean!

My aquarium snails are awesome, salt and freshwater…so many cool little cleaners. Wild caught snails can have parasites but as long as you wash your hands, don’t lick or kiss, and keep it out of your mouth you should be ok.
I haven’t ordered from here but it’s a good place to look at pet snails (terrestrial).
www.snailysnail.com/buy-live-pet-snails-onlineI have ordered from this site; snails arrived alive and are thriving (marine and freshwater).
www.liveaquaria.comI just wish I could build an ocean thermal vent so I could have scaly-foot gastropods, the most metal of snails. Literally, they have metal scales.

Ooh Chorus is a good suggestion, it reminded me of Everspace when I played it, which is why also recommended Everspace 2 elsewhere.
- Comment on Space battle games for casual player? 5 weeks ago:
Everspace 2 might be what you’re looking for. It’s fighter piloting and npt battleship style combat bit it’s one of the closest feels I had to what Xwing vs Tie Fighter was back in the day. You can drift and swap end for end just like XvT.
You might also like the spaceship portions of Star Wars Outlaws. I’ve been having fun in there, too.

Coridden Isometric 1 to 4-Player Online Co-Op Shapeshifting Action RPG Platformer with light Metroidvania elements developed by Aftnareld a small studio started by a gaming couple in Sweden.
This was on my wishlist and Steam has it on sale for 30% off. I’ve played 14 hours so far and it has been worth the $14.99 I paid. It’s an isometric action RPG with camera rotation and jumping, so there’s also platforming in there. You play as one of four siblings which as far as I can tell only affects the color your character outline is and some dialog spice.
There are 3 main human classes with their own skill trees plus 2 more once a main class has been chosen; Surge, Hunter, Protector, Hellion. There is also a Custom class which allows you to pick 3 skill trees from any of the other classes. In addition to the human skill trees you will collect various animal forms you can shapeshift into, each has their own main skill tree and another which can be chosen from 2 or 3 options."
Combat is fluid and fun. Your human and shapeshift form have separate energy bars which encourages swapping forms to maintain your energy for attacks and abilities. I have mostly played the Hunter class but have tried others briefly, thanks to an inexpensive respec system you can experiment fairly freely and can respec individual skill trees for human stats and skills and also for the shapeshifting skills.
My only minor complaint is the inventory system; it lacks any options for sorting, and the alterants (like gems or runes in other games) don’t all stack which can cause them to occupy a lot of inventory spots.
