We have had great success with our two DP's and three emerald green Cories. The cories stick together and the DP's don't ever seem to notice them. In fact, our male DP, Rocky likes to hang out in the castle during the day, many times you will see him along with all three cories in there together. Mind you that we bought all five fish and added them to the cycled tank at the same time (within a day of each other). It has now been 11 months since we bought them.

Good to hear, but keep a close eye on the cories as I personally as well as others have had negative experiences with them. Sitting on the bottom with high fins exposed seems like too good a treat for the puffer to pass up. Watch out for nipped fins and move them at first sign of it.
All puffer threads go into BW, as there is so much confusion in the hobby as to which puffer goes into what water.
There are some folks who can differ in oppinions and remain civil about it. We agree to disagree!! In sharing my experience, I was not trying to advocate the mixing 100% of the time, but it can work.reiverix said:
From the article posted by RTR
The last sentance quoted is important too, not only with multiple puffeers, but with any fish you put in with them. I also wonder why, if shrimp may or may not be ok, that people suguest them as possible tankmates. Again I see no difference between them becoming a meal and some other inexpensive fish such as danios or neons or whatever. When I did keep my dp in with other fish, the slight ovefeeding helped keep up the snail population, and every day or so I would crush some of them for the puffer to eat. The other fish showed little interest, or just never saw them in time to eat them.

www.dwarfpuffers.com While a yes or no would answer your question, linking a site will also cover your follow up questions.
Depends. Are there already fish in the setup you are thinking about?
I agree, I was just saying I'm glad it didn't turn out like some other thread, with people attacking each other and getting banned.
In the Brackish Froum, it says "puffer threads go here!", and I know that all the puffer people hang out in the brackish forum.
Again, THANK YOU ALL!!!!
