Default Puffer community 200 gallon

So I am seriously trying to get my wife to buy into this in our home. I have her sold on the longhorn box fish. Wondering what other fish I could add. I was thinking a puffer community would be seriously cool. Would this work?

In my fowlr, I have a little longhorn cowfish, picasso (humu humu) trigger, and porcupine puffer. They seem to be getting along so far.

i wuold be quite hesitant with that idea. though true that some puffers can tolerate eachother fairly well, they dont love each other by any means. in your case 3 individuals (different species) is fine, more is pushing it imo.

I have 2 porcupines, a mappa puffer and a dogface puffer, I think as long as you get them all near the same size you have less chance of them fighting, and aslong as you have space and lots of places for them tosleep they should be fine. O yeahh be carful at feeding time.

Wow...that a huge bio load too with many fish that get well over a foot long! Must be a nice looking tank. What size is that one?
