If you are talking about Carinotetraodon travancoricus, common freshwater dwarf puffer, and you clearly understand that it's a freshwater fish based on your topic. What drove you into Saltwater and Brackish section?!
Besides that... they are a great choice for a cool species, especially if the space is limited. Really fun fish to watch, highly recommend them! Also must be noted that if you want to go with these guys you should aim for species only tank as they will nip on everyone else's fins.

because they are the only puffers i know of that are freash water and i fugured there would be more people in the salt and brackish water section (sence thats where most puffers live) that would know a more about this kind of puffer.
There are plenty of freshwater puffers to choose from, it just depends on how much space you have to play with and what is available to you.

There are some that have been successfully kept with their own species, others for the most part have to be kept as singletons, it all depends on the individual puffer in question.
Dwarf puffers and South American puffers are the most successful at being kept in groups. DP's with enough territory for each and breaks in lines of sight in a heavily decorated/planted tank should work. SAP's school together so if you've got 15g for each you could keep a group, heavy decoration and plants are also a good idea with these also to give retreats from aggression.

they are great littlke fish. keeep in mind they ned live/frozen food, and willnot eat prepared food usually. althought they are quite small, don't keep them in anything TOO small (under 3Gs) because they are sensitive little fish, and fluctuations can happn too fast for them to handle in a REALLY small tank.
