Puffer For A 15 Gallon

[Nexalon]

Ok Ok, I'm about to get hit for being the new guy and asking this question.....

Specifically I'm looking to buy a peaceful FW puffer for my 15 gallon tank community. Here is what Ihave:

2 x angelfish (2 Inches each)
2 x German Blue Rams (2 Inches each)
Golden Dodjo Loach (5 Inches)
Algae Eater and Blue Lobster that stay inside their beachwood cave all the time and rarely come out

Please help!

Its ok we wont bite the new guy, but I wouldnt recommend any puffer for a 15 with other fish. They are aggressive fish and generally only recommended for a species only tank. In a 15g FW tank dwarf puffers would be best but ON THEIR OWN, maybe 1m/2f ratio. It would also need to be heavily planted.

That tank is not tall enough for angel fish

I know later the angels will outgrow. As of right now they are medium sized and when they do get too big I'll be selling/trading them.

Thanks minxfishy! Is there any puffer that is peaceful or close enough for this tank?

None that I know of, you could try asking this ? in the oddballs section of the forum - they might have a better knowledge of the different puffer species though
