i disagree. i really dont think figure 8's are aggressive enough to attack a turtle. i have kept my common stinkpots with s.a. bumblebee puffers with no problems at all.
 
Seriously NO turtle is supossed to be house with NO puffer, so many things can go wrong, very wrong. The turtle is simply resting or sleeping and the puffer goes picking on her, the turtle kills the puffer, or the puffer dies by causes related or not with the turtle and the turtle eats some of the carcase and dies because of the potent neurotoxins that reside within puffer flesh. Its simply not worth it. The fact that you kept this combo with no probs is simply luck, its the same thing of me having my grandparent dying at 90 years old being a smoker since 20 and then saying that "smoking is good for you" wich obviously isnt. I hope you dont repeat such a thing;) Thouse puffers may not be big enough to pick at the turtle but all the others dangers are way reall. Keeping turts and fish thogether is already trobblesome enough :grinno:

Maybe not attack, but it would test bite it, and end up causing fungal infecions.
IF the turtle ate the puffer, Which it probibly would, the turtle is likely to die.
