Dogface puffer

[angelfish]

My boyfriend and I went to the lfs and saw a dogface puffer. I thought he looked so cool. Any suggestions on what to keep with this puffer. I want to add 2 clowns and a yellow tang to my tank. I already have yellow backs, yellow tails, zebras, and a blue damsel. Some of those will go back to the lfs except the yellow backs and yellow tails but can I add the puffer with this combo.
Thanks
Angel

DOGFACE PUFFERS GROW TO ABOUT 10" AND ARE AGGRESSIVE EATERS. THEY REQUIRE A LARGE TANK AND WILL CONSIDER MOST OF WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE AS LUNCH. THEY WILL PROBABLY EAT ANYTHING THAT IS 1/2 HIS SIZE OR SMALLER. I AGREE, THEY ARE COOL LOOKING FISH.

I agree with porkypuffer. I have a puffer and he is already about 5 inches. He eats everything from hermit crabs to fish the size of damsels to cocktail shrimp.

I also agree, they are beautiful fish, but the dogface eats pretty much anything. If you really like damsels, you might be able to keep a full grown domino with the dogface. My puffer is a sharpnose, but she beats up everything, and I mean everything, so I had to get her a tank of her own.
