A couple 5" fish should be ok.

How about a dozen pea puffers? I love mine.

I thought pea puffers had to be kept solo.

Hello! Could you happen to know of a place that is selling these guys for a decent price. I have looked a lot of places and they either don’t have them, or the one that did would have cost me $140 which I’ll pay if I have to but would prefer to find something a bit cheaper.

Wet Spot has them. Again not cheap, at $75 -$100 depending on size and the $39.99 flat rate shipping currently

With enough decor and space they cohabit well I believe

Old wives tale. You need to keep the male ratio down. I got lucky. I got 10 and have 8f 2m. I've got breeding behavior going on from a male and two females. I also have 12 brigette Rasbora and a ton of cherry shrimp in with them (also can't be done lol).
