What kind of "spotted" puffers??? Some puffers like brackish ones may not need a salt requirement when young, but do tend to start out in a higher pH, hardness envirnoment.

I know for a fact that baby Figure 8s or Red Eye puffers and polys don't mix.

Puffers of any type are best in a species tank. They will either harass or be harassed, to death. The amount of ornery they have should be packed into a body the size they are when they blow up.
