What to put on a 10g?

Post by Puffalicious »

I recently acquired a 10gal tank from my cousin because she's tired of having fishes. Now, I was going to use it for snail breeding, but then I saw these cute Dwarf Puffers at the petshop and I want those puffers so bad, I guess I got the puffer bug because I fall in love whenever I see one. Have anyone tried putting 3 DPs on a 10gal(I know the requirement is 5gal per puffer) because only have 2 is kinda like having nothing in the tank because these fishes are so small!!

And will I be able to put anything else in there if I have 2-3 DPs

3 works pretty well in a ten gallon, IMO, I have 4 in a 15. Just make sure you have lots of tall decorations all over to break up line of site, 5 gallons is for enough "territory" space, their bioload is more like 3 gallons IMO, so it will work if their personalities are good.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
