As I said in my post in general freshwater, I'm going to be moving my tanks this weekend. After I move, I'd like to add two or three more dwarf puffers to my 10 gallon tank. I currently have one female dwarf puffer and a few very large ghost shrimp in the tank. What are the chances of the current puffer not terrorizing the new fish? The tank has tiny terra cotta pots and some anubias, so there are hiding spots, but will this be enough? Is there anything I can do before and during the introduction to help the new fish? Would adding more plants right before I add the fish be a good idea, or would that just stress the fish out?
Thanks!

I wouldnt add any extra puffers to that small of a tank. Puffers like there space and are typically agressive. Im also suprized that the one you have hasnt eaten your shrimp.

The puffer is a tiny bit smaller than the smallest shrimp and about half the size of the biggest, so I don't think she sees them as being something that wouldn't fight back if she tried to pick at them.
