I have a 10 gallon tank thats heavily planted with large bits of natural wood and stone. I have 2 subadult Pea Puffers with a couple kuhli loaches and a nerite snail. Since i have seen no agression towards the kuhlis, just curiousity, I was curious if they would be compatible with bumblebee gobies. Im thinking like 2 or 3 (are they social?) Gobies, the puffers kuhlis and see about a couple cherry shrimp. Does anyone have any advice or experince? I know it partially depends on the fish personality and my two puffers seem to be very peaceful and friendly!

I would get 2 or 3 more puffers and call it good. 10g is a pretty small tank for both kuhli and gobies or any other bottom dweller. I wpuld strongly advise against the killfish or any others that take up the same part of the water column as the puffers.
A fair warning either way is if you add more pea puffers, they might become emboldened and start going after the loaches.
Most puffers tend to be species aggressive, but peas are more other fish aggressive.

Noted, thank you! I think ill just stick with the two puffers, the khulis and maybe a few shrimp. One day ill get bumblebees but not yet, i dont want to cause any conflict

I would reccomend ghost shrimp first. Puffers actively hunt crustaceans so they might not last long and are cheaper than other species. If they don't bother with the ghost shrimp, then you could probably get another more expensive type.

Got some ghosties about a week ago, my puffers have shown no interest! Theyre really laid back with the kuhlis and shrimp, i think ill i troduce a few rainbow shrimp eventually
