While I am new to keeping puffers. In my research on my figure 8 puffer I read that you can keep them together in a species tank as long as you have plenty of hiding places and plants. The key to them getting along is to make sure they each have their own territories and that they are not constantly able to see each other. You also have to make sure to keep them well feed so they do not begin to nip eachothers fins. They are brackish tho....they need a little bit of marine salt...but not much. I would recommend them tho....I love my Moe!
