Dwarf Puffer - Minimum Tank Size?

[TL1000RSquid]

What kind of heater do you use for a tank that small?

Hydor has heaters for very small tanks, 7w and 15w. I used the 15 when I had my pico reef up.

Not exactly sure, it was designed for a fish bowl, I picked it up at walmart for something like $12

The small heaters at my walmart only have one fixed setting... 80 degrees.

Fixed setting or not DP prefer 80 degree water. And they can survive a broad range of temps from 70 to 85 degrees. Although I do not recommend a fixed temp heater for your need right now it's ok

Yep that's ok for one just not two. But I will say that each puffer has there own personality. I have 3 DP 2 females and 1 male and they are in a community tank. Everyone is great and they never pick on anyone. Make sure you have plenty of plants/rocks and driftwood so they don't get bored, mine love playing in my overgrown hornwort but they did glass surf for the first few days, I was worried about them but they all stopped a couple days later
