Ok, so i need to downsize, and be budget freindly (cheap, common fish). I don't have much cash right now and whenever something dies, it pisses me off, not only, because i really liked that one, but because it was like loosing a good chunk ok change. long story sort, i looked at my favorates, and desided that they kept me happy, yet where common, so i have descided to start going cheap, but getting more than my moneys worth of it.

Ok, so what puffers, and how many, and what else can go with them, for my ten gallon (as soon as I finish growing out a 5" sengal in it. My choices are limmited to along the lines of common leopard puffers, or pea-puffs. A store in the next city over was just bought out, so i will prob. have more options
 
What is a pea-puff? If you were going to go with a puffer in a 10 gallon I would suggest a dwarf green spotted puffer. Now I don't think you could go with more than one but if you do make sure you have a lot of decor to divide the tank so there isn't much tension. I would go with much more than that. You really can't go "cheap" with this hobby, because it definantly isn't a cheap hobby.
 
A green spotted puffer would grow too large for a 10g. They get to around 6 inches.

Pea-puffers are a common name I've heard for dwarf puffers before. You could keep a pair in a 10g for life.
