New 5 gallon

If you do decide to go for dwarf puffers I would suggest getting the live food ready in advance. Setup a brine shrimp tank, setup a small snail tank. For snails a big icecream container with a few live plants is great. Add some veggies ina dn the snails will ahve food. A little gravel is good too. Change the water a bit every week. When you need to feed them to the snails put a piece of lettuce in. The next day it will be covered in snails.

The dwarfs are super cute
 
I have dwarf puffers in my tank, they love bloodworm, i have been fortunate in that they dont mind if they are frozen ones or live ones, the funniest thing with them is that they eat so many, that their bellys become nearly as big as them, they also dont move about very fast at all after feeding, they kind of remind me of me lol fat, slow and lazy after a meal :)

I love to watch them curled up on leaves fast asleep too, other brush into them and they still dont wake, infact they are always the last ones to wake in the morning too when i open the curtains.

They are living with my other fish with no problem at all, but then again i dont have any slow moving or long finned fish in my tank.

Snails the size of their eyes are a great meal for them, but if the bigger ones are the only ones you can get, they will just like orion girl said, suck them out of the shell.

They have massive amounts of personlity, just watch out when vacumning the sub, as they are very nosey and seem to have no fear, i can just see one of them making it up the spout very easy if you dont have eyes everywhere.
 
On the filter, make sure you have a long skinny screwdriver. After about 6 months the impeller will not want to turn when you clean the filter and plug it back in, so you have to give it a jump start with the screwdriver, and I had a 20-40, for my 10 gallon, that I just threw away. It would stop working without turning it off.
 
hey guy thanks for all your help
