Question
If I have a spotted salt water puffer fish what other fish would be safe to keep with him?

Answer
Hi Shannon:

Most saltwater species of Puffer fish are semi-aggressive and should be kept with similar. House with fish of similar size and temperament and be aware that Puffer fish will eat invertebrates found in the aquarium, using its fused beak-like teeth to crush open its prey.

See the compatibility chart below from one of my favorite online aquarium stores for fish species compatibility.

I wish you success with all your future saltwater aquarium endeavors.
