I used to own a nano reef fluval 13 gallon tank. It died over the summer and i turned it into a betta and dwarf puffer tank. I originally wanted to use a divider but after i finished setting it up and cycling around 2 months ago, one of the puffers escaped to the other side and he was completely fine. So i took the divider out and added more plants. Now the 4 pea puffers and my male betta are all doing awesome. The puffers come up to the rock to eat and my betta chases my finger like i trained him to. I also have a couple snails and a ghost shrimp and an Amano shrimp in there and literally everyone is doing awesome like never fighting. Any thoughts?

Only problem was once when I forgot to feed my betta for a few days he ate a ghost shrimp.

Only thoughts are once all the fish are fully mature it may change. I once has a dwarf puffer that was completely fine with tankmates for about 6 months and then turned into the devil

Betta fish do a lot better in a community than people portray. In fact its usually other fish nipping a bettas long fins that is the problem rather than betta "aggression".

If I am surprised at all by your tank its that your puffers are not nipping at the bettas fins.

Yeah I was also surprised about that.

Very surprised your betta is not finless, be careful in my experience each time I had dwarf puffers they were model citizens till they reached maturity...
