Puffer eats puffer

Theoretically, if a puffer were to eat another puffer, and both were wild caught, what would happen? Would the toxins of one affect the other, or would the toxicity of the "eater" increase? It's something I've thought about and wondered, but I am of course unwilling to perform a controlled experiment. If anyone has had the bad luck of one of their puffers eating another, please do share what happened.

Puffers are immune to their poison(s). Theoretically, the toxicity of the eater should increase if the storage capacity is not already exhausted.
