Pea Puffer ~ Trying to decide on a good tank mate...

[PewPewChris]

7-gallon tank with the current inhabitants being my little pea puffer "P-Diddy", 3 cherry shrimp and 2 blue shrimp. I bought this tank solely so my wife could have a puffer fish, but I would like at least a little more action to view.

I'd like to get 1 or 2 more little creatures to go in the tank to spice it up, thoughts from the group?

Pea puffers are very territotial and will kill whatever you put there. Specially in a tank so small. I wouldn't recommend.

Any other animal in that tank would definitely "spice things up"... Just not the way you'd want
Pea puffers are territorial and aggressive. They will bite most anything and hunt down shrimps/snails.
