Should I Get Puffer Fish?

[KatieW]

I currently have 2 plecs, 1 gibbicep, 4 albino catfish, 1 angelfish, 2 neon tetras and 3 x-ray tetras which have just been transferred into a Trigon 350 tank as the plecs were rapidly outgrowing the Rekord 120 tank I had! It looks amazing and I have been contemplating getting a couple of puffer fish but I'm not entirely sure this is wise as I've seen a lot of comments on this site about them being quite vicious at times and generally hard work . Do you think a couple of puffers (and which kind??) would be suitable with the other fish I have?? Not sure if tank size makes a difference to what other species they can live with.

I'm not familier with the trigon 350, is that 350 liters? In terms of getting a puffer I would not suggest it as most puffers are brackish water. You can get freshwater speices but both freshwater and brackish water puffers are very aggressive in terms of fin nipping. so it might be a better idea to jus have a spcies tank with puffers, rather then a community.
