I made a similar post before, but still looking for any criticism or suggestions!
I added lots of drift wood and planted some dwarf lilies. Really debated breeding rams or keeping a single short fin betta in this tank, but pea puffers have my heart, I included some photos of my previous group of peas!

I plan on getting a large group of pea puffers and some other nano fish (habrosus corys and maybe dwarf rasbora).

I love all the pea puffer posts in this subreddit

Does anyone have experience with keeping pea puffers in large tanks? Or huge groups? I would get as big of a group as I can ( 15-20 if not double or triple that)

My main two concerns:

- sick fish might hide and die unnoticed
- shy/sick fish won’t get food

Ive kept 10 pea puffers in a 20g long, but they passed due to a bad heater malfunction summer of 2024. I really miss their shoaling behavior and personalities. I’m mostly including this to say that I have experience with feeding and deworming puffers.

I might change up the plants a little to give more line of sight breaks and cover. I plan on adding botanicals too.
There is a steady population of tiny snails and low grade shrimp. I have a hang on the back (w intake cover sponge) and a large sponge filter.

I would add some peaceful nano tank mates as I’ve had good experiences with that in the past.

Any advice or experiences are super appreciated!
