4 otos. Two South American puffers would be ok in this setup.

I think I'll stick with dwarf puffers. I'll do four otos and four DPs, one male and three females.

I bought one of these once but the Lfs gave me a bumble bee goby by mistake I was so mad so I never ended up getting one, I just bought a green spotted puffer though so that makes me happy. Are dwarf puffers easily cared for?

I have 3 dwarf puffs in a 10g Halfmoon tank. I got two females and 1 male. They've been living in there for about a year, species-only setup. Low tech planted with extra filtration. I do 40-50% weekly pwc's. They'll only eat frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and the occasional tadpole snail for a treat. Neat little guys with lots of personality!

Thanks. I'm not sure when or if I'm going to get dwarf puffers. First I have to finish my 38 gallon and then I have to upgrade my betta tanks (my poor babies' tanks are way too small). I'd be done with all that by Christmas, and then I have to save up and the list goes on lol. But I'm hoping to have these fish in the future they're absolutely adorable.

For a 20 L go with 3 Otos but there has to be algae. Or you have to feed them sinking pellets, zucchini, peas, get driftwood too.
IMO don't put DP in there. Get fish that actively swim horizontally and like that length.

If I go through with it I'm gonna get DPs, I'd like to try something new. Or maybe I'll do brackish. Still haven't decided!

No dwarf puffers are true freshwater fish.

Would 2 in a 10g work well? I'm planning on planting it heavily and put in rocks and such.

From what I know about them, probably.
