no they are mean little buggers no matter how cute they look,
if you put one in that tank say good bye to the goby the beauty and any other one it can catch
Ive even had them eat coral cats and they have poison skin on them , he eat them from the tail up left the skin and head
Porcupine Puffer will eat many invertebrates and at least sample some of the others. Do not mix them with triggers or fish that are small enough for them to eat. They generally get along well with clownfish, wrasses, tangs, angels, butterflies (except those with long flowing fins), hawkfish, dottybacks and damsels. Choose a puffer鈥檚 tankmates carefully to avoid nipped fins and injuries. Don鈥檛 mix them with slow moving fish that have long flowing fins.
You'll need a large tank like 100 gallons for the puffer to feel safe with all those fish. The other fish will need to be about the same size as the puffer. Or he will attack them. Also you need to feed the puffer meat so he will leave the other fish alone. You will also need to watch and make sure he doesn't puff up because if he does it allot he has a poison that he secretes when he blows up and if he keeps secreting it he will kill all the other fish with it. Puffers are not a beginner fish I would sick with what you got on that list .
As a general cautious rule, puffers should be kept in a species-only tank. They are pretty aggressive and territorial to other fish.
in a large enough tank everything you listed can get along except the puffer and damsels. Both those fish are agressive and will fight with those fish. Damsels are even known to fisht with fish that are many times the size of themselves. they are fearless. I had a tank of damsels and they would attack my hand when i put it in the tank to clean. Puffers are also very agressive if you add puffers and damsels into that mix you are looking for trouble.
