I would say no, IMO 4 would be the maximum number and even then there may be aggression issues.

yeah, i would have thought so, put an add in the buy and sell section

Yeah, there's a high demand for them
I would personally say 6 being the maximum, based on the BARE MINIMUM of 1 puffer per 3 gals of water....

How much experience have you REALLY had with DPs? For an 18G, I would suggest no more than 3, yet you say that one needs one puffer per 3 gallons of water. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude, but, to be blunt, you are plain wrong.

You would have to get rid of AT LEAST 5 of those DPs if you got them. Dwarf Puffers are not nice, even if they are cute and innocent-looking. And that's even with no other tank mates. Do you happen to have an empty 18G lying around cycled?
