Both of those puffers would require a min of 100 gallons of water (IMO 150G would be best)

The biggest ready made corner tanks are only around 70g as far as i know (Juwel trigon 350)

Also remember puffers need very big, very good filtration as they are very big, very messy eaters.
 
A corner tank really is unsuitable for larger puffers, they need swiming room. So the smallest would be a five footer

Hi Seffie,
So my corner tank will be ok? Or would we need to buy a long one in the future?

Im pretty sure Seffie meant to write really isnt suitable. I dont know much about marine fish but i saw some of these when i was snorkel on holiday and they get big. Like others have said from the size of them i wouldnt put them in anything under 100G but 120G+ would be best.
