I've always liked pufferfish, and I really fancy getting a small (5 gallon or so), tank, and keeping it on my desk in my home-office.
I'd ideally like a really well planted tank, and I'd like sand rather than gravel, with one dwarf puffer. Is this possible? Would any other puffer species be ok in that tank? or maybe a 10?
My other question, is will the puffer be ok for a week every few months while I'm away on business? There's not really anyone I could ask to look in on it.
A planted 5g should be nice for a single DP.
I left my figure 8's for 10 days a few weeks ago and they were fine when I got back, not even all that emaciated. If it's healthy, a week away from your DP should be alright.
When I leave my DPs for a while, I just drop a few mystery snails in there for them to munch on while I am gone. They only take little bites. Then when I get back I put the snails back in one of my freshwater tanks to recoup.
I can't do that, I like apple snails, they have cute little faces and more personality than most schooling fish I've kept.

Nearly all active hunters love lots of plants to search for vittles, DPs especially.
