Hi everyone. I have a 5 gallon planted tank stocking around 8 ghost shrimp and 2 Dwarf Pea Puffers. Would I be able to add one or two oto's? An online stocking calculator said my stocking was 80%. Thanks.

Pea puffers are territorial unless they are in a large tank. The minimum room recommended is about 3 gallons per puffer. A 20 gallon tank is suggested for them with 1 male and 2 females. With just one female, the male will bother her a lot and cause stress. In a 20 gallon tank an Oto would be an acceptable tank mate.
