I added more plants and now the tank has 2 Otts, 2 Pea pod puffers, 40 feeder snails and 30 ghost shrimps. So far, the puffers seems to be leaving everything alone, but I guess it's just day one. Let's see if they'll start eating the snails in a few days.
Let me know what you guys thing.
Old stuff:
I have a 20G long tank for my dwarf puffers. I plan to put a total of 4 Dwarf puffers in there. Do I have enought plants and caves in there to keep my two crabs and dozen of ghost & red shrimp alive?
Please advise.

I would personally reccomend MANY more plants, you need tall plants. Rule of thumb: Make sure your puff can't see straight from one side of the tank to the other.
I agree with CTHM. If you don't want a plant that is really tall though try the plants that you can stick on the walls of your tank. they are pretty dense and they give your DPs a place to hide as well.
here is a pick of my community tank. See the plant on the back wall in the center with the blue flowers. The Red one on the right also hangs on the wall. You can place them at any height you want and fan them out as well to.
Ok, I guess I'll just get more plants for the tank. Thanks for all the input. I can't do live plants because I'm a noob and I don't have enough time to take care of them. Doing 50% water change every week is already enough work for me.

I don't have any real plants either. I am working towards that point. I might start in my arrowhead tank because its smaller but i hope to get to having all my tanks with real plants.
