most puff that grow to 6in are what you would call aggressive. :)

I havn't heard of any that would really fit that situation. The only puffs I know that would go well in that situation would be Dwarf puffers. All the rest would probably try to kill the Saps.

400L is a good size. I would recomend blue acaras. i know there not puffers but mixing puffer species is a big no no. Blue acaras have the looks of chilids ( i think there cuter but im biast i do own 4 ) and there pasive!!!

I would definitely not risk it, and a puffer could change at any given moment.

do not mix puffers with any other fish usually let alone other puffers. the only puffers ive ever kept in a community tank with no problems ever are MBUs
