A puffer fish is just about the worst thing you can put in a
"community" tank.  You will soon find that the puffer will eat
the fins of other fish.  They swim so wierd that the other fish
don't know what is going on until it's too late.  I had puffers
once...  I finally put them in their own tank, and in another tank
I raised snails.  I would feed them snails daily.  Just drop'em
in and the snail won't even make it to the bottom.  Crunchies...
