Hey therere when u say Puffy what sort of puffy do you mean? a dwarf puffer or an acutal puffer fish?
I have a dwarf puffer fish but i added my betta after my puffer fish had hit puberty (aprrently all DP's hit puberty :S and this is when they can get very agressive, and bitey.)
I only havea 30 litre tank mand my beta and puffer fish arent fighting at all, everything is ship shape x

Puffers are best solitary. Unless its a really big tank with lots of plants. They will get aggressive and attack other fish. Only be a matter of time before it goes after your betta,then no more betta. Best to give a puffer its own tank and a betta its own as well. Its iffy with bettas and tankmates,some may be okay with it,some not.

My betta and DP have co existed Peacefully for over 2 months now, i believe that my Dwarf puffer "went through puberty" before i introduced my betta x

Hmm...well hopefully itll stay that way. But i recommend a quite large tank to do put them together.

NO!! Puffers need to be alone, or with their own kind!! They will fight, and possibly kill your betta..
