You haven't told us what they are. This is the problem with running 2 threads on the same fish at the same time. People get confused.

That is too many puffers for that tank size. The minimum is 75 liters per fish. They are also VERY aggressive species. It would be best to keep only one per tank. They are small and will stay small, however puffers make A LOT of waste...the water will be bad quickly. Since you got them from where your sister works I would recommend taking all but one, possibly two back. If you keep two the tank MUST be HEAVILY planted. I would still only recommend one though. I hope someone who keeps this species will chime in. I'm not trying to be mean, just being truthful. Puffers are very misunderstood fish. Their care varies greatly from other fish.
