puffer fish with a dragon goby..

Question
I have 5 puffer fish. One figure 8 and 3 green spotted, and one that looks like the green spotted, but its spots connect, where the others spots are not connected, and the one also had really neat blue eyes. If you would possibly know what kind of puffer it is? Also the kids are interested in getting a Dragon Goby, would I be able to home him with the puffers. I also have a 6 in Pleco in the tank as well, he seems to do fine with the puffers, a few little disputes at first but they have gotten over it. The puffers are about 2+ inces and the one that is different is about 1.5. Thanks! Have a great day!

Answer
Hi Anissa,
  I can't say for sure what kind of puffer that is.  There are many kinds.  

  I would not get a dragon goby to put in that tank.  I strongly suspect that the puffers will tear apart the dragon goby very quickly.
