Arrow Dwarf Puffers.

My reasons are threefold.
1. I am really curious if i actually have true Indian Dwarf Puffers, does anyone know how to tell? or can tell from my pictures?
2. I am currently keeping my DPs with Ghost Shrimp, which they leave alone unless fighting over a bloodworm, and some guppy fry, which the DPs are way to slow to catch. Any suggestions on what else can be kept with them? What about Cherry Shrimp?
3. I got a really cool camera that i am just learning how to use so I'm being a big dork and posting because I'm excited.

Thanks!

1. Post photos and I can tell you for sure.
2. Keeping them with guppies is a sure way to lose the guppies. In general, they don't do well with any other fish aside from otos. DPs are not too slow to catch other fish, as they do the most damage to them at night when the other fish are resting, and DPs can kill and eat fish many times their own size. In addition, they can get out-competed for food. As to the cherry shrimp, they may get eaten, they may not. How many others you can have depends on the size of the tank and the number of inhabitants.
