In my 10 gallon I had a 2" angelfish, a 2" blue gourami, and 3 dwarf puffers. The dwarf puffers almost killed the angel in 24 hours and the gourami suffered some pretty bad fin damage. My lps let me return the puffers the next day.
dwarf puffers in community tanks

Woohoo, that is still quite a few large fish for a 10g tank. You thinking about upgrading when they started getting larger? Angelfish get quite large and the minumum tank size I would suggest is a 30g, and the same goes for blue gourami's. Glad the LFS took the puffers back.herostar said:

5 responses isn't very representative. How many have just never tried because they've had the fair warning not to? I keep my 3 dp's in a 10 gal by themselves and have never once thought about putting them in my community tank.
Just my thoughts. Maybe another poll might be "how many people would CONSIDER putting dwarf puffers in a community tank?"

Well, my success was somewhat mixed. If you do decide to go community, just make sure that you have another tank you can put them into if they don't 'play nice'.
Exactly. Keep a close eye on the dp's, because they could potentially shred another fish's fins in less than a minute. That could be enough to send some fish into shock and make it susceptible to secondary infections.
thanks for trying to do the research, hondamx.
