In short, No...
The fahaka will more than likely eat or inhale the dwarf puffer as it gains size... also, when you consider Fahaka’s are usually the least likely puffer to accept any tankmates, its best to keep them solo...

My fahaka puffer murders anything else in the tank. I've tried a few other fish with him and within 20 mins they are all gone or in half.
Ive kept two smaller fahakas in the same tank for two months without problems. Have seperated them by now due to the smaller one stopped eating but is doing fine now.
Mines the size of a coke can and I've tried fast tetras, plecos, a catfish 3 times the size of him and now I know to just let him chill by himself. It would be nice to have two but that ain't happening.
The biggest of my two is prob only 8-10cm and the smalle one prob half that size.
I kinda agree that the larger they get, the more aggressive they can be... i would say mine developed a bit of a mean streak once she reached around 8-9” and realized the damage she could do to tankmates... after that, she basically lived alone...
