Dwarf puffer in a 29gal community?

I'm currently setting up my 29galllon tank as a community tank, and I wondered if I could get a dwarf puffer with my other fish. Right now I have 6 Zebra Danios, and I'm getting:

3 ottos
1 Pearl Gourami/Angel Fish(depends of what the LFS has)
5-6 Cardinal Tetras

Would the puffer be okay in there? I've never had puffers before so I don't really know... And I'm willing to change the tetras out for something else if they don't work, but I'm kinda set-in on the ottos.

the puffer would be fine with the otos but it's doubtful with the danios and tetras. i'm honestly not sure about the pearl gourami or angel. preemptively i'd say no, especially if the DP were small enough that the larger fish would be able to eat him.

I don't think the pearl could eat the DP, I know they're small, but I don't think they're THAT small... Could I switch out the tetras for something else? And I don't think the danios will be a problem if I heavily plant my tank...(I'm working on getting live plants in there)

they're SUPER tiny, when i first saw the juveniles in person i was shocked by how little they were! hopefully pink will come along soon and have some better info for you

Okay, I guess I'll just have to wait. I've changed around my stocking plan so much. The only thing I won't change are the danios(b/c i already have) and the ottos. It'll be hard to change my mind about the pearl/angelfish. I don't know if I want a DP badly enough to not get the gourami(/angelfish)
