Compatibility Question

[irenicus]

I was wondering if a dogface puffer would be compatible with a Blue Spotted Boxfish or a Polka Dot Boxfish. Another route I was maybe thinking about taking is possibly having Angels with my puffer and SFE. I have a 90 gallon tank.
Your advice would be Greatly Appreciated.
Thankx!

That would be a gamble, and probably not one I would recommend, as the blue-spotted is the most notorious of the boxfish for releasing the ostracitoxin that would wipe out the entire tank. The dogface is rarely aggressive, but I still would not try it if it were me. As far as angels are concerned, they might be okay for a while, but if the angel got a litle too aggressive, it would likely begin nipping the fins of the puffer. I recently had to move a CB angel out of my 90gal FOWLR because it was nipping my porky puffer. HTH and good luck
