Are Stars and Stripes puffers safe with percula clownfish, a royal gramma, a mandarinfish, a PJ cardinalfish, and chromis? I have a 187 gallon aquarium with 4 green chromis, 2 percula clownfish, a heniochus acuminatus, a madagascan pearlscale butterfly, a bicolor angel, a PJ cardinal, a royal gramma, and a mandarinfish. Would it do ok in here? Would it nip the heni's fins?
 
Nope. they get very large and some have an attitude like mine and will eat small fish.

beautiful puffer! i love these guys and wish i had a bigger tank to get one, i always like seeing them in pet stores, them and the "so ugly its cute" dogface puffer. never had any experience with this type but the general answer is no you cant have them in with tankmates, you may pick up one that is in the low percentage of nice ones but its your call on whether or not your willing to take that risk with your current fish.
 
nope, my madagascan pearlscale and another chromis just kicked so I need to figure out what's wrong with my tank and I also do not want to risk the remaining fish.
