How many puffers in one tank?

How many different kinds of puffer fish do you think i can keep in an 80 gallon aqarium? Do you think 3 is too much. Thanks

wouldnt it depend on what kinds you get? Since puffers like valentins only get 4 inches, while porkies get 1'8".
any particular ones in mind?
i love puffers, but i dont have enough water for a porkey

I was thinking a porcupine, black masked, and a guinea dog face puffer. I had a pork and a dog face together in that tank, but they died because my ph was too low. At least that's what my Lfs said. Thanks

well all those get way to big for an 80. All over a foot. I would choose 2. Then upgrade. they grow on the slow side especially when they hit the 6 inch mark (from my experience) but those 3 puffers would be to big

ok, thanks, maybe i'll have to upgrade to a bigger tank or choose different puffers. Thanks
