8 would fit perfectly. Just ensure that the tank is heavily planted to keep territories in check and lessen fighting.

Normally in the US they are like $2.50,
You'll want 3-5 gallons per puffer, so 10 should be perfect.

I could take your SAPs but not for a few weeks. I am looking to get another 3 SAPS to add to my 2 which are being added to my planted 63 gallon tank, so I guess I could have 6, but I live in London - would that be a problem?
Do you have any photos of them?
How old are they?
How much do you want for them?
