I have a well-established 15 gal column tank (13"x13"x19") that is heavily planted. I am thinking about adding 2-3 dwarf puffers. I currently have a 4 year old albino pleco (about 3.5" long) in this tank but I could move it to a larger tank if necessary.
I am also thinking about getting some pest snails to breed in the tank to supplement the puffer's food. Would this be unhealthy for the puffers? Will dozens of tiny snail remains significantly lower the water quality?
If you think puffers are not a good choice for this set up- any other recommendations? I was also considering 7-8 male guppies instead of puffers.
**Also, I know there is a lot of debate about brackish water for dwarf puffers, I am more curious about how many could successfully fit in this tank size.**
