Yeah, fangs are fine in a 15g, don't plan on keeping anything with him though!

for a small tank like that, I'd personally do some dwarfs! You can fit more in there comfortably and they will have room to explore!

yah dwarfs are cool my lfs has them but thay dont really stand out beacuse there so small i really want a pair of red eye puffers but i heard that thay are hard to find

what about dwarfs and another puffer could this be done

Not really, and not in that tank, far too small to try it. It's been tried with SAP's in a bigger tank and the Dwarfs puffers tend to be fin nippers to the SAP's.
I cant think of any other species of puffers that could have a decent chance of success with DP's

i got the idea from http:www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Tanks/mytank17.htm

ok i think that worked but i saw that and thought it would be an awsome tank

It's hit and miss, Irrubesco's have been known to tolerate tankmates for a period of time and then all of a sudden turn on them and they're gone. Irrubescos are more than capable of taking out Dwarfs and in a 15 gallon you couldnt really attempt it. The general rule for Irrubescos is around 10 gallons per puffer. 3 Dwarf Puffers or 1 Fangs is a much better option for that size tank.
