Personally I wouldn't put anything with a singular Dwarf Puffer. Not even another Puffer. Little buggers are aggressive and will terrorize their tank mates.

+1 I like my puffers in solitary.

Males have wrinkles behind their eyes (females do not). That is the main characteristic difference I notice. Also males have one dark line running down the belly, but I never tried looking since most DPs do not show their bellies to me. If too young, then these characteristic would not be too obvious or distinguishable.
