Apart from the water parameters being opposite the zebras will kill the puffers, a mbunas best defence is there speed which is the one thing puffers dont have dont forget the zebras will be 4" in about 6 months

Agreed. That just isn't a great idea. The only things that really should go with African cichlids are other Africans cichlids. The will butcher the puffer, no doubt.
