I have a ten gallon tank with a total of six fish. They are: one dwarf gourami, 3 mollies,and 2 tetras. I have begun to like dwarf puffers and would realy like to get one. I was advised by a staff member at my pet store to not get it because they became aggresive and may attack my fish. I need ideas and ways so I can keep my fish safe, but still get the dwarf puffer I so badly want. Please Help! I wil realy appreciate it! :-)

You can by dividers that can be placed into the tank so that the fish has it's own section, however you must make sure it well above the water level since fish will jump over it if they can

A ten gallon set up dont cost that much go get you anther one and put you a few puffers in it. Then you will not have to worry about it at all because the pet store person did tell the truth my bro in law put a large african knife in with 2 puffers and the ate a whole all the way through it.

First, the staff member is correct they are aggressive. Secondly they are brackish water fish. They should be kept to themselves.
