compatible tankmates

I was wondering if there is some species of puffers that can be housed together. I was thinking of a sap which I know from experience that is really peaceful but I would like what other types might work. I also wanted to know if different types of puffers get along from different species. ex. a red eyed with a sap. Thanks

I dont know exactly what u meant, but:
DPs
F8s
they can both be housed with their own species given the right tank.

As far as I know, different species of puffers usually don't get along. One user on here kept two GSPs and a stars and stripes together, and all got along swimmingly :) for a while, but eventually there were bullying problems. Also, many people keep GSPs and F8s together for a while, but then they have to be seperated because GSPs need higher salinities as they grow. Also, they usually stop getting along as they get older. Those are the only instances of cohabitation I've heard of, outside of pet stores.
