I was told at the lfs that it's not brackish but fresh water
I'm just worried that one of my fish don't bite it and die? I had a green spotted puffer years back that jaguar cichlid bit and they both died just hope this won't be the case
Puffers will puff when stressed, so maybe the puffer choked the other fish to death...
Since i've read something about them only being able to produce their toxins based
on certain diets in nature..,
Depends on how you define safe???
I mean if another fish eats him there will always be a chance the other fish + the puffer will die...
Try imaging if you had to swallow a fully inflated ballon, it wont be long till it blocks your airways...
But as far as the poisoning goes, i guess it would depend how long the fish has been in captivity as to how much poison might be in its system?

I'm sure it was raised in captivity...
Nothing in my tank will be able to fit it in their mouth..My main concern was it being poisonious
Hey guys so I moved the puffer out my main tank because I woke up in the morning and my Aro's fins were all nipped 
His in his own tank now but just lays on the floor all the time and doesn't eat?
Is there any fish I can put with him to get him swimming?
What food would be best to give him too start eating? I did try shrimp and pellets

Just give it time. Fish sometimes sulk after movesHey guys so I moved the puffer out my main tank because I woke up in the morning and my Aro's fins were all nipped

Just leave it be for a few days, most puffers won't eat pellets. Food such as snails, prawn, mussel and such is good
