Dwarf puffers are aggressive and will bite your bristlenose's fins repeatedly.

They are the smallest, yet, not good with any tank mates at all.

+1 to what purple said

they are small but will rule any tank. Typical puffers, hate anyone else that isnt their kind.

No dear, all puffers are aggressive and are not suitable for tankmates..especially guppies and bristlenoses.

BUT, if you listen to what we say and get a small 5 gallon tank, with no tankmates, you could have a dwarf puffer.

You must have a cycled tank first. But if you are willing to listen to how to care for a puffer, I think you could handle a dwarf puffer..it you got a separate 5 gallon tank and cycled (got enough bacteria)it.

5 gallons are easy to find in yard sales and flea markets.

The day you find one, let us know and we will help you get a dwarf puffer!
