uummm have you seen my tank ??? I just thin out floaters once a week. My plants grow just fine. I have to trim them weekly as well.

A few floating plants will help reassure your shy fish. CPDs can by VERY shy if they don't feel secure. My friend never sees hers. Try without them, but keep it in mind.
The gobies are brackish fish, so that won't work. I think if you want to do the puffers it needs to be just them. Oto's are quite sensitive and will do best if you stock no more than 1 per 5 gals. I think nerite snails and/or shrimp are better algae eaters for a 10 gal.

There is a species of BB goby that is fw, but it's very hard to find. The ones you usually see in pet stores are the bw kind.
My LFS orders in fish and has a huge variety of fish- they have around 15000 gallons in tanks
Im sure I'll find some
I can't decide to go with puffers or a community
Maybe I'll grab ONE more tank at the petco sale and make that a 10 gallon puffer and the other the community stocklist I did earlier

10 Things to Know About Gobies: Bumblebee Gobies, by Peter McKane
I suggest you look at this article for the bbg. As for the puffers, they would be fine for your tank, but I suggest getting an even number. I have heard that a male/female pair typically gets along better than a same gender pair. Also, if you got a pair they oculd gang up on the 3rd fish.

I was thinking 2 puffers, not 4. In theory 4 could work, but I would not add the bbg in there too. In general, the puffers do ok with bbg, but it is still a bit risky, just so you know. Even with a pair of puffers in a 10g tank, make sure sure that the tank is well planted and you break up the line of sight to avoid issues.
Again, make super sure that you are getting the right species of bbg so you don't compromise its lifespan by keeping it freshwater. Not all lfs's know the difference.

I'll do just 4 puffers than
I'll make sure to have a divider handy
I also have a nice piece of dw for them to hide in and lots of plants to divide the tank into little territories- densely planted edges with open centers

I am not sure if 4 is a good idea at all. I have no experience with that many in a tank that size. I tend to think 2 would be better, but you should ask somebody with more experience than me just to double check.
