Are puffer fish brackish?

There are some that are freashwater and some that are brackish. Take a look at these two links from the Oddball section:

what kind of other fish are compatible with puffers because from what ive heard they're aggresive?

For the most part they are species only fish, but in the tank I have at home I have a figure 8 puffer and some glass fish and they get along great. I was also looking at getting a couple of bumble bee gobies for the tank as well. It all depends on the fish and weather or not they feel comfortable. Be sure there are plenty of hiding spots and keep an eye out for nipping.

My puffer took ofer a corner of the tank that has a bunch of plants and cover, and he will chase anyone that goese near it. He doesn't nip at them, but just chases them out of his corner.

I love my puffer...so fun.

I keep otoinclus and bristlenose plecos with my puffers with no problems at all, they tend to leave em alone, the bristlenose never get effected and the ottos have learned to stay out of their way.
