Puffers And Other Fish?

Can I add my two dwarf puffers to this tank?

2 kribs
2 killifish
5 cories

DPs even though small are aggressive and because of their teeth will be harmful to other fish. They should be kept in a species only tank, although there has been success with keeping them with ottos and shrimp (depends on the DPs personallity). It's best you don't add them with other fishes.

The short answer is no. have a look at the pinned forum for reasons why, but basically, most puffers don't play nicely with other fish.

My advice with adding puffers to any tank with other fish in is:

Never try it unless you have a spare tank in case things turn ugly.
