3 works on bioload, everybody just has to get along. By bioload, it's well tested, but if the puffers don't get along, there's not much space to escape too. I have 4 in a 15 gallon, which works because all puffers are submissive to big mamma Marilyn.

OMG yes... but we ended up eating when we went to go pick up the glue and it took awhile when we finally got home so it ate up the rest of my day, which is ok I guess. My little "frag" tank looks awesome!
