...and allll this space on my desk at work. i'm thinking stick in a little duetto submersible filter, some rocks and live plants, and have a dwarf puffer to keep me company. i know one can go in 3 gallons comfortably, but i'm a little worried about him being lonely. two would be too cramped, right?

I think it would be to cramped for 2, personally if it was me I'd probably stick with a betta for the tank... puffers can be very messy and it just might be easier up keep to have a betta at work with you?

Look into some sparkling gouramis. I have 2 and they are great. They like to patrol the tank, spy on you when they think your not looking and have magnificent colours.

If you promise to keep it clean (50% weekly water changes) & not overfeed, it might be doable.

I have half a doz. in a 10 gallon which I have not had but a week. I will do a water change now too. Gotta get back my demands later.

Since it is recommended to keep these fish at 1 DP/3-5 gal, I'd say your tank is overstocked.
