hey i should be the last person to tell anyone that certain fish will not work with other kinds of fish. Ive put some weird stuff together, and seen some weird stuff put together. Sometimes things click and you dont have any problems. Other times bad things happen and you end up with one puffer and pieces of fish all over the place.
often the gamble pays off. I wish you luck, and hopefully you find the puffer that works best for you and your other fish.
Your best bet are the South American puffers but they need regular teeth trimming. I have a modestus living with a 6" Royal pleco but he killed all his other tank mates.
