Would 1m/2f dwarf puffers and a Male German Blue Ram get along and fit well in a 20 gallon tank?

It should, but you might have to move one of the puffers to another tank later in its life. they need lots of space to be psychologicly sound.
 
I've never kept dwarf puffs but from what I hear they are very territorial and agressive, they say you would have the best success with 1m 2f ratio so thats good but they may even attack and kill each other apparently, the best success for tankmates with them is dwarf plecos, but give it a shot, just make sure the tank has lots of hiding spots and plants, also puffs need shelled food every once in awhile to keep their beak/teeth? trimmed.
 
The first few people must be confused. Dwarf puffers are aggressive and will tear a Ram to shreds. If you want puffers, you are best off doing a species tank, very few fish can work with dwarf puffers, and most everything is hit and miss.
 
Thanks....I won't take any chances with aggressive behavior. This ram has been through enough in the past.

How about 2 Dwarf Puffers in a 6 gallon Eclipse??

I'll put the ram in the 20 with something else.
