good first puffer-freshwater

I'm sorry for the bump, but this thread fit my question pretty well and I didn't want to start a new thread over it...

So I'm becoming more and more interested in getting a puffer (or several, even) but I can't afford nor have place for another tank. I've been looking at the C. Asellus for some time, but I'm not really sure if it would fit into my tank. It's a 180L/47 gallon tank with two blue gourami, one angelfish and a bristlenose pleco, none of them fully grown. I'm aware that the puffer is a fin nipper and these fishes have pretty nipping-friendly fins, so that's why I'm asking what you think of it.

Puffers do NOT make good community fish at all! Say good-by to your angel's fins.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't really feel like returning the fishes so I can get puffers either, so I'll put it in the future somewhere. I also have a 11g tank I want to put a dwarf puffer or two in but it's occupied by a betta right now, so that's a no go
