It is not murder if you're killing snails.

My puffer stopped eating pond snails,unless crushed. I had to trim its teeth 2 weeks ago. I wish mine ate snails so I didn't have to trim teeth

Yeiks Linus! Mine are pea puffers. Can't imagine trimming their teeth!

The trick with the puffers is to keep them in good numbers. If there's no competition, they learn to slurp the snails out of the shells. If you have a bunch of them, that's too slow, and they gotta crunch.

I think the problem is it learned to eat the blackworms I feed the discus.
