I just moved my two established male DP's from a ten with otos and shrimp to a 15 with one female DP and one juvenile dp freshly out of quarentine, along with their old shrimp. Having more puffers around has definately decreased the male-male conflict(which was never violent, just displaying crests and belly puffs), and the additional space definately helps.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Is it 3g per DP, or is it more?
