Puffers will take chunks out of fish as they grow up. It starts with a few missing fins then a few missing body parts and quickly missing fish and a happy puffer.

Try cut down the number of species and increase the number of individual fish.

Bala sharks, knife fish and puffers don't mix as everyone else has stated. These fish need species tanks if they are to be kept happy without eating their tank mates.
