Default Dwarf Puffer

I'm thinking of setting up a species tank, a Dwarf Puffer (Pea Puffer)
tank to be exact. All the info I found on the web about these little
fish has just confused me. I need to make sure I know what I'm
getting into before I go out and get some. I also need to know what
kind of water to have.

I need the following cleared up please.

Common Names: Dwarf Puffer, Malabar Puffer, and at Big Al,s Pea
Puffer

Are these fish Brackish or Not?..... Some sites says they ARE Brackish
and will NOT do well in fresh water, others say they ARE NOT Brackish
but are FULL fresh water fish. Which are they PLEASE?

They will be going into a tank just for them, no other fish.

The Max size of these fish are around 1.5"?

Would a max of 7 be OK in a 20 Gallon Tank? or are we going to be over
crowding and asking for disaster? don't forget they will be the only
fish in this tank.

I've done a search on the Tropica site for plants (Brackish) and have
come up with a few choices. If I can get them locally this tank will
also be a low light planted tank with DIY CO2 if CO2 will be a benefit
to a low light tank.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John (AKA)
