Is there a Puffer Fish that does not relase poison toxins?

[potter]

We currently have a 72 gallon bowfront with a porcupine puffer fish that apparently ate a small maroon clown. Pet store is going to take the puffer back in on an exchange for another puffer. We chose the porcupine because he was not suppose to release any toxins that would kill our other fish. Would a Valenti be a good choice or would there be issues with this species also? :happyfish

Clown is correct. Puffers don't release toxins, they have poisonous organs though. They are safe in your tank as long as nothing eats it. =)
