I stopped at one of my LFS's today and say he had 3 spotted/leopard puffers. now the guy who owns the pace wasn't a big help. all he could tell me was that they were aggressive but couldn't tell me how aggressive and if my existing fish would get along with one. I was thinking of putting one in my 10 gallon and give away or trade in my guppies and rasboras to make room. now will a puffer be ok in a 10g and if so will it harm my loaches, cories, or bn if I get rid of the guppies and rasboras?

They are quite aggressive. And they will need much larger than a ten gallon tank, as well as brackish conditions while it's a juvenile, and full-on saltwater when mature.

Here's some info on them - and if you look around the brackish section here at MFT, read posts by Limi or Brackman, as they both have these puffers.
