First 99% of puffers are brackish and salt water puffers, of the dwarf species the majority of them are brackish water puffers, the only one that i know of that is 100% fresh water is the "pea puffer" they only get about the size of two or three peas put together, they are a semi aggressive to aggressive species, and they can be compatible with other community fish as long as the other community fish are larger than they are, they need a diet consisting of mostly protein based foods, and snails. they absolutely love snails, and will leave a grave yard or rather a path of empty shells in their wake. i have several in my 125 gal planted tank. they keep the hitchhikers from taking over when i put new plants in the tank. cory cats and larger tetras are a good match, do not put them with cichlids or anything that will get big enough and aggressive enough to make a snack of them. also from what i have read, the figure 8 puffers are brackish fish and need that sort of set up in order to survive and maintain a happy existence.
i hope this helps
