Dwarf puffer plan

I feed my dwarf puffer frozen blood worms, small pond snails, live black worms, and cut up red wigglers. I tried adding freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried river shrimp she just picks at them but doesn't really eat it. I never tried to feed live shrimp, I think it would only work if it were small enough like a baby-juvie sized shrimp. I keep an otto with mine and the puffer never bothers it.
For a 10 gallon I think it is fine with a pair of puffers and a small school of 3-4 ottos. Also I recommend breeding snails and shrimp in a separate tank. Every few days I will add several tiny snails to the puffer tank for the puffer to hunt and snack on. Sometimes the puffer doesn't eat them, the puffer will just play and bite on it. This is still good though, as it keeps the puffer busy and also it does help their teeth giving them things to bite on.
