pufferfish

Question
I recently purchased a 10 gallon tank.  Only experience I have is with a 55 gallon of African cichlids which I did well with.  Yesterday I added 15 gallons of agronite sand as  I was advised because I wanted to purchase two pea or figure 8 pufferfish.  As I research Im finding this might not be a good idea.  Can you tell me if its possible to keep these fish in a 10 gallon freshwater tank in small numbers (two to be exact)  and if I have to make brackish  how I do this.

Answer
Hi Michelle,
Puffers are quite cool little fish...

However, I don't have much experience with puffers. I can only go by what I've read and experiences from other people. But here is some valuable info I found-

*Dwarf puffers*

*Figure-eight puffers*

This is an amazing article on puffers and everything about their needs and care, it should tell you all you need to know-

Best of luck and happy Pufferkeeping!!!
