r/PeaPuffers

I’m a pretty experienced freshwater aquarium hobbyist and recently my young son decided he wanted a pea puffer. I cycled this simple ten-gallon planted tank in his bedroom (which I’ll tend to), stocked it with some pest snails (I have more elsewhere), and I have plenty of bloodworms and other frozen foods at the ready. I want to know once and for all: if pea puffers prefer living in groups but are also territorial, how many should I put in this ten-gallon planted tank? One? Two? Three? Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks.

My new babies arrived today from Flip Aquatics. All 8 alive, 2 were a little pale and sluggish during acclimation but once in the tank seemed ok. They all swam and swam for a few hours and now only 2 are out and about. Not sure where the rest are hiding😂😂 I assume this is normal? They also show zero interest in the all the snails I have been collecting for the 2 months I have been getting their home ready but they ate live black worms right away.
