Plants
2- Micro Swords
3- Horn Wort
2- Anubias Nana
2- Cabomba
2-Java Fern
2-Water Sprite
2-Green or Red Cryptocoryne

Now Down to what i want i either want Dp's because there easily available and I can buy them straight away or i can wait for Amazon Puffers to become available which could take however long. If i get Dp's how many can I Put in the tank and if i get Amazon Puffers what can i get and if i even can get Amazon cause I read they like to be put in Schools Or Red eye puffers.

P.S I have a small 10 Gallon Snail Breeding tank already set up so im ready in that aspect and i can get frozen Bloodworms from PetSmart

Welcome to the forum. I would recommend no more than 12 dps with as many females as possible. Amazon puffers need lots of swimming room and generally need dentistry work. I know little about red eyes I am afraid.

SAP's are a bit over-active, unless they have stuff to do, like hunt and explore. So I have lots of things for them to get into & plenty of snails and blackworms. 6 sounds like a good number.

What do u guys think of the zebra puffer or its scientific name Carinotetraodon Salivator on aquabid there selling 4 of them right now for 45 dollars or the Borneo Jet Black Puffer

That's a great price for the salivators. Given that these are more rare species I don't know of anyone who's kept multiples of them.

To the aquabid thing about zebra puffers i thought they didnt look right the name is Zebra Puffer but the scientific name he has listed is COLOMESUS ASELLUS which is amazon puffer

Correct! I saw the same ad. They have about 4 or so different names for them...

I was surprised to hear that aquabid had a pack of 4 Salivators lol.

DPs are pretty cool IME. It would be awesome to see a large group of them
