Do you think this will be a good set up for DPs?

You might want to add a few more plants or driftwood or decor. You'll know if you put too much when weekly gravel siphoning becomes difficult.
Kind regards,

A little tall decor to break lines of sight would be advisable, but you are along the right lines.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Don't buy the pea puffers with the line down there stomachs there the males. I had one male/ 4 female for a year untill i gave them away. The females where all scared of the male and he was always shy but nasty to the females. In a 10 gallon you don't want one getting killed by the other.

I don't like playing the waiting game with my LFS waiting for more :(. Especially not with 4 Abei puffers staring at me wanting to take them home! To bad I can't just have one more tank......
