Ammonia has to be at 0
Nitrite has to be at 0
and Nitrate has to be below 20 parts per million.
PH for puffers should be between 7.6-8.4, 8 being the ideal.
Ammonia and Nitrites become dangerous at any level. Nitrates become dangerous once they are over 20

That PH is for SW puffers, some FW like 7.0 just fine, and many FW do not seem to care as long as it's within a point of 7.4 and consistent.
