i think it would be fine as long as your fish aren't aggressive, and your water parameters are right

No long flowing fins either? What are you planning on putting them with?

no, it would not work. dwarf puffers need a species only tank. they are too aggressive towards other fish and are picky eaters so you would need specific food. Dwarf Puffers : Home

No, no, no! Even though they may look cute and tiny, they can be very nasty and are best kept in species only tanks.

yea i was gonna say what Mo did..dwarf puffers are aggressive and need to be in a species only tank. I had a friend who had a dwarf puffer in their community tank and did ok but i wouldnt risk it.
