I had planned to turn my 55g into a dwarf puffer tank but after some consideration and thought about trying to get it heavly planted i changed plans to turn a 20 g into a puff tnak. The amount of size compared to that of the 55g is less so it will be alittle cheaper on the wallet to do the conversion.
I'm just conferming the idea of perhaps 6 dwarfs, 4 corys or 3-4 ottos, a small army of ghost shrimp or amano/bamboo shrimp (depending if they consider these guys lunch or not)
hopefully the shrimp will be friend and not food so they can act as cleaners but who knows! I was considering either otos or corys, i know otos would rarely come into contact with the puffers and there would be little to no problems with them corys might be a bit risky but still relatively a safe bet. Corys would love the sand substrate and keep it semi mixed whcih would be a plus but i'm still not sure one which.
just got tons of new rock now that the snow is melting so i cant wait to aquascape this tank along with the 55 g who i will be stealing afew plants from.
but the real question was the number of dwarfs in the 20g.... 5-6?
