I have an established cichlid aquarium housing a mix of venustus, green terrors, electric yellows, flowerhorns, plecos, and one angelfish. The angelfish is the largest of all the fish and is the leader of the tank. All of the other fish are juveniles except for the yellow labs which are Fry. I want to add a juvenile fahaka puffer of about 3 in. I'm thinking he will grow to love and tolerate the other fish. Does anybody think this will work

Love the way they taste. Tolerate them filling his belly.
Not a good idea.

I don't own a fahaka, but I've looked into them.
If you do a search for fahaka puffers on the forum you'll probably see it will not work. You can also look through YouTube, most people don't have luck with other inhabitants. Fahaka's appear to be mean sobs.

I honestly wouldnt recommend it, especially not in a tank with that many tankmates...
Fahakas are best kept as solo wet pets and even if one were absolutely keen on trying to keep one with tankmates, i’d recommenced doing it with a few fast moving dithers you dont care about and not your prized collection...
