    Yes, puffer normally does not disturb shrimps...esp yamatos, cause they are bigger than them (in general). If there is snails, all your community are perfectly safe, however puffer are very efficient snails killer, they will clear yr tank in a few days, thereafter, no snails, it will aim at yr fishes(esp their fins), thus u either remove/isolate the puffer after snails clearing or u need to constantly feed it with food(worms), cause fish food will all be snatch up by the fishes in minutes.....

    haha...puffer will not 'sexually assualt' your guppies as they are not as horny as guppies/mollies are. But make sure yr puffer has enough snails to go round with or at least well fed, else be prepared to find your guppies with torn/tattered tail fins...

    I agree that for peace in an aquarium where a puffer fish is in residence, the puffer fish must be well fed. Thus, when the tank run out of snails, get the frozen bloodworm ready.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
