Is this a community tank? I think i see some tetra neons cardinal there

I thought dwarf puffers were aggressive towards other fish if places in same aquarium ...

we learn every day !!!

@cbogdan07 No you right , i put this fish with very fast swimming fish and they don't bother tyo attack them . But if you put guppies or anything slow in there they will die
