Can one buy puffer fish for the home aquarium?

Yep. We had a snail infestation from new plants in the aquarium.
Fresh water.
I read puffers eat snails, so I bought one.
He went right after those snails.
We watched and began to get worried, because he wouldn't stop
attacking and eating snails, and there were a lot of them for one
little guy.
He ate so many in an hour his stomach was about to burst.
Within 2 hours he turned a dark color and died.
Got another one the next day, and he was more reserved, and not a
glutton.
All snails were gone after about a week.
The puffer lasted a while before ich got him.
