So this is week 2 of all the stores around me not having dwarf puffers.

i ahve 3 oto's in a 10g tank with some amazon swords and fake plants.

im getting tired of looking for these fish so does anyone have any ideas of an oddball fish that i could in a 10g?

(i dont mind getting rid of the oto's)

a mudskipper, african butterfly fish, anything exciting to look at?

please help its just not fun having nothing in a tank!

I think you may need more room for mudskippers, a 15 gal would do for maybe 1. The thing is though is that mudskippers like to be in groups. They are also brackish fish. They also should get live foods like crickets. One could probably be kept alone in a 10, but keep in mind that 2 thirds of the tank should be land. If i were to get mudskippers, id get alteast a 15 for one, and a 30 gal for a group of around 6, 6 is a pretty good number. When in groups they show all their colors and fins and stuff. Really cool little fish. In a 10 gal you could do african buttefly fish.. but im not sure how many. I think you could maybe do some type of dwarf pike cichlid which are pretty cool.
