Hypothetically, would a dwarf puffer and a pair of otos do well in a 5 gallon hex tank?

Also, what are your opinions on apple snails as food? Are they a no-no?

It should be alright. As far as apple snails go... I think that the pest snails are better. They come in on like the live plants. The lfs will give them to you free.. so they are less expensive than the apple snails .

You could add another puffer, if you want.

Yea, but id really like for him to have a lot of space. There will be less territorial(sp?) disputes and the otos need more companionship than the DP does. Right now my tank has guppies, which i plan to keep. If the 5 gal is available by next summer, im going to plant it nice and heavy and see if my lfs will special order the otos and Dp

The dwarves and otos will get along great. With a 5g and a pair of ottos I would only put 1 or 2 dwarves in at the max.
