My friend learned the hard way that dwarf puffers are meant to be in species only tanks. Very rarely do they get on with others. Even though they are so tiny and cute they are vicious!
Pets at home have started seling them which is a recipe for disaster. So my friend bought 2, put them in with her other fish (swordtails, sailfin mollys and panda corys)
I didn't know anything about them but I started getting interested because they were so cute and came across this site.

For a week they were fine and she was very proud of her "exotic fish" but after they got used to their environment-they went on the rampage, it was awful they kept pecking at the corys, and anything else that got in their way. She kept telling me about the way they stalked everything else. She has a 100L tank with caves, lots of plants and rocks but it didn't do anything. They go on the rampage! They were swiftly rehomed to a small tank by themselves.
Hope this helps.

Oh double post sorry

I have one of these little nukes. ONE.

She is called Salt, and is specifically used for snail control.

Most of the time, she lives on her own in a sectioned compartment of a 2ft tank. I feed her snails taken from other sections of that tank (her section is always scoured clean of snails), or from my larger display tank.

Occasionally, if there has been a population boom of snails in the display tank, she will be moved accross temporarily.

Provided there are AN ABSOLUTE MEGATON of snails for her to hunt, she leaves everything else well enough alone (bristlenose plecs, sailfin mollies, swordtails, guppies, female bettas, peacock spiny eel).

I have to keep a very close eye on the snail numbers and the tails of guppies or female bettas. As soon as there aren't enough snails to keep her fully amused, she starts on the tails of guppies (too stupid to swim away) and female bettas (too stubborn to swim away). This situation will quickly get out of hand after this point and I have learned the hard way to remove her at the first sign of trouble.

These little fish are adorable and have loads of character on the outside, but on the inside they are like an apache helicopter gunship piloted by the Terminator!

I'm sure the dwarf puffers would love that environment like I love an all-you-can-eat chinese buffet

Edit; pufferS? I've heard they hate each other's company, but I've never felt the urge to see what Salt would do to another puffer if she really is as territorial as reputed!

All of the above are correct, they love to eat fish even their own kind. I bought 3 from the pet shop after beng told they were community fish with no special requirements, within 2 days I had 1 left and everyone of my ten neons bits nibbled of its tail. They are vicious. I moved mine out to keep my tiger oscar company, that relationship lasted about 2 seconds.
