Can I keep a few figure-8's, asselus, and green spotted puffers in a 75. These will be the only fish in the tank. I was thinking maybe even dwarfs but those are so small I thought they might get picked on and might be killed. Any suggestions? Would this work? Thanks.
 
Asselus and dwarf are freshwater. Spotted and figure 8 are brackish. Spotted should go full marine when adult. It might only work short term. As far as aggression...unlikely to turn out well but you could add some cheap dither fish as a distraction.

You might be better off with just asselus and dwarfs...better chance of that working out.

+1. Yea puffers don't okay nice with otherS. But or course there is always exceptions. but all those need different water qualities so it's a no go. You could do a couple gsps or figure 8s just not mixed species.

I need to spark up my fish life
 
F8's require very low end brackish, almost freshwater... GSP's require very high-end brackish, almost Marine conditions, so in short, No, you cannot mix the species...

Not to mention, GSP tend to be a lot more aggressive compared to F8's
