The tank is set up...think a Dwarf Puffer will be at home?

Finally got everything in there and set up. I just need the new replacement heater (the old one is a piece of junk and doesn't keep any sort of normal temp...boo non adjustable!) I ditched the tank filling Tetra Whisper 10i, it took up way too much room; I replaced it with an Aquaclear 20. I have a few Anubias because I love that plant, like a lot. It's so pretty and I like that you can have different leaf shapes. Honestly, everything else I don't know what it is but it looked pretty and if it melts, well I just have room to try again
Here is the current set up...I love that little rock cave. Hopefully it's suitable for a little dwarf puffer?
Still trying to hunt down the perfect light though...

Dps love a busy tank. Be sure the tank is cycled cortectly before adding one

It's been cycling for almost 3 months now. There was an african dwarf frog in there before my friend upgraded to a bigger tank to get more frogs. I set it up with the two Anubias plants so they wouldn't dry out and I started cycling then. Been adding the other plants as I have gone...but thanks for the advice

Good looking planted tank. It needs a puffer for sure!

How long ago did you remove the frog? Did you keep the old filter media when you changed filters?

I kept what I could, she had a sponge in the bottom of the whisper filter that I put in the new filter and started the tank with. I also put some flake food into a tied closed stocking to feed the tank, I read that doing that helps feed the plants...which at the time were my main concern. I've been doing my research on the nitrogen cycle, it's fascinating! I know that puffers are very sensitive to water conditions, as they are scaleless so I want to make sure my water is safe for the little guy.
