How many complete freshwater puffers if any can I put in a ten gallon? So what species and how many? And what snails are best for them to eat, I plan on feeding them bloodworms, brine shrimp, and whatever snails work best.
Dwarf Puffers In 10 Gallon

Well, if you get dwarf puffs, which are the best option for a ten gallon, you can have a male and one or two females, maybe three if you keep up with your water changes. Five gallons is the minimum for a single, but it seems that you need to add two or three gallons per additional puffer.
Mine eat pond snails, ramshorn, basically whatever I can get, they'll eat. Bloodworms are great. Blackworms. Mine won't take brine shrimp though.

MTS are too hard and can break their teeth, from what I've read. I'd just get the pond and ramshorn snails to breed.
If you want to go a different route, you could do a single red-eye I think. There is irrubesco, lorteti, salivator, and borneensis.

I don't blame ya. I am tempted to switch my idea for my 10 from a single red eye to some dwarf puffs every time we go to the LFS. Too stinkin' cute! Hope you make a journal 
My LFS donates the snails to me because of our strict snail laws in the area. We can't even get assassin snails legally. Since they can't sell the pest snails (mostly ramshorn and pond snails) which come in on the plants, they give them to me for free. Today, they gave me about twenty which I threw into the puffer tank instead of the snail tank because I'll be out of town. I watched Frida get two of them right before I headed out the door.
I had 3 dwarf puffers and some otto's in my 45L
My Dwarfs would attack any snail of any size, they were vicious little things - plus they ate bloodworms, frozen, dried or alive and dried food. I now have South American Puffers in a 200L - and they wont touch any snail! I am tempted to get some dwarfs to clear up my ramhorns.
