I am thinking about puting 10 dwarf puffers into my 20g. Could I fit more? Also, would java fern and driftwood be good for decoration? (I would add more)

I wouldn't push it. Maybe 5-6 puffers per twenty, considering it'd have to be heavily (and I do mean heavily) planted. I'd try maybe 3 dwarves with a pair of C. irrubescos in a twenty. That would look awesome.

Ten would be fine. Your decorations would be fine, but add lots of plants (real or fake) and some hiding places. Dwarfs like a busy tank.

Dwarves also DON'T like other dwarves. With aggressive fish such as dwarves, even in a heavily decorated tank, you're almost guarenteed to have some sort of behavioral problems with such a high fish to tank space density.

Negative, I don't think putting 10 dwarves in a 20 is worth risking(it might work, but...)
Less riskier to go with one dwarf puffer per 3 gallons in a larger tank
