Welcome! :) Your tank is absolutely stunning! You've done an incredible job with placing and growing plants. How long have you had your tank set up?

Hello and welcome to the forum. However I have to say there is too many fish for a 15 g, any plans on an upgrade? You have about 30g worth of puffers alone
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

In France, it is recommended for a puffer 10 litres , but I'm daccord, ideally should be one fish per 20 liters, as many of my aquarium vegetation and a single male.

Your tank is slightly overstocked with puffers but not horribly so (I don't know what other fish are in there). Keep an eye out on water quality and aggression between the fish.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I do not think 1 male and 4 female is much in 60 liters ... Dwarf Otocinclus on no problem of cohabitation, that is even the only fish that can live in an aquarium specific Carinotetraodon travancoricus

I have a very powerful filtration (without violent stream of water) and I do water changes of 50% each week :lol:

We have members who have singleton dps in 20 g and 10g tanks. You need suitable amounts of water to dissolve their waste. 11 fish in 60l of water gives less than 6l each. Nimft

There are 11 fish but not living at the same level ... if you watch this video you will see that the Otocinclus do not need large spaces but to live in groups.

Against by the puffers would be more comfortable in a larger I'm ok. But the balance to a male 4 females that there is no problem of territory, hiding places and plants are also essential.

In short, if I could I offer them bigger but for now it is not possible as I do the most for their happiness

It's red so probably very demanding on CO2 and light, maybe CO2 injection required?
