Are they hard to keep?

Not very, not any harder than, say, silver dollars.

And they don't require almost prefect water conditions either. But they do need a good filter system. I'd almost suggest going for a 10 gal because IMO they are easier to clean and upkeep plus the price difference it only maybe 10 bucks at most.

i am almost 100 % possitive that you can put more than 2 too 10 gallons of water. the rule is 2 to 3 gallons of water per fish.

I would not recommend it... it will likely raise aggression levels.

I also concure I've tried three in a ten gal with bad results ended up lossing one. They are little fish but they have a big attuitude

just in case u didnt know that rule definately doesnt apply to most oddballs especially puffers

I keep 3 DP's in a 10g and they are fine... But then again I have one male and two females, which lowers agression issues. IMO, 10g is the best for DP's because they are cheap and easy to clean as said above. Good luck!

If you want to keep more than 2 in a 10g, have it heavily planted, with lots of places to hide. They dont need a ton of swimming room, but they do need protection from eachother. Mine would just sneak up and bite eachothers fins clean off.

I had MY puffer in a 10 gallon tank with cory catfish and guppies and he never bothered them. Just keep plenty of snails in there for food

I had 3 in a 10 gallon by themselves once but they all died but one because of agression

 

[pufferking]

Like i said i have 5 in a 10 gallon it is heavily planted and i have had not 1 problem
