Could I Have 3 Dwarf Puffers And An Otto In A 15ukgal?

[guppy_man]

title says it all, when i get my 15gal, i was thinking of dwarf puffers for the tank, i have read lots of good reports about these lovely little fish.
now i was thinking when i get the tank, could i have 3 dwarf puffers and 1 otto and lots of snails for them to eat? and there will be caves and some real and fake plants in there too.

thnx in adavance

A 15 gallon tank should be fine for 3 dwarf puffers...you just may run into territory issuess with ANY dp no matter how large the tank is. Check out www.#### for any other questions you may have, it is a great website full of dp lovers!

Not sure about the otto, DP like to be with their own kind. 15gal fine for 3 though. type in dwarf puffer on google, the first site that comes up is quite useful for info on tank size and feeding etc

I'd keep 3 puffers and 3 ottos in that tank. Ottos prefer some company so a trio would be good.

ok thnx

i had a look on that site you gave me seidge, and it said 3 gallons per fish that means i could have maybe 5 or would 4 be better?

Sounds like the best set up to me.

I have just been in the LFS in Carlisle and they have loads of what they have labled up as yellow striped dwarf puffers they where only about half a cm in size

did they look better than the normal dwarf puffers?
down here they sell dwarf puffers for £3 each quite cheap
