I have a small experience with 2 Monotrete Species and, well, how can i say, this fish are not safe for other tank mates at all, specific tanks are better for long term keeping.

About sexig puffers, it is not possible through observation (except on carinotetraodon Sp.)
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...
