how would 4 ADF work in a 3g planted species tank?

i've kept them before so know about feeding etc. just making sure they will be ok in this tank....

cheers for any help in advance.

I have 3 in a 10 gallon, which had to be divided into 2 5 gal spaces for a week for reasons not having to do with the adf's and they went beserk after about 5 days in the smaller space. Were constantly bickering, even went after my dp a few times, and tonight I noticed 2 of them are missing pinky toes on their back feet. Up until that point they had just been cute little busy bodies in the tank, so I have to think that 3 in 5 gallon with 1 dwarfpuffer was not to their liking!

you shouldn't mix nippy DP's with the tender ADF's sorry but that's asking for trouble. ADF's can be picked on by most things so a DP is likely to tear there legs off if your not careful. Dp's can crush snail shells soft legs of frogs don't pose much of a fight.

I have never seen my dp nip at the ADF's, only the other way around. But during this time frame that the toes came up missing there was a lot of aggressive behavior between the frogs and with the frogs to dp. Now that the tank divider is removed and they have the full 10 gal back everyone seems back to their normal selves.
