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

| 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.
