Lion and a puffer

[tomclx]

Hello,
I was wondering if a volitan lion and a puffer can survive in the same tank? I am moving next month and i am planning my in wall 150 galon set up. Can these two fish survive together?
Thanks

I have a porcupine Puffer and want to get a volitan lion fish. So the porky wont pick on the volitan?

The only issue IMO would be they eat the same foods, only the Porky does so much faster and aggressively than a Lion, you may have to be creative about getting the Lion food without the piggy puffer eating it. You may find some people worried about the Porky going after the Lion a bit, but the 2 Porky's I have had were never aggressive toward another fish.

if your porky doesnt bother other fish he should be fine, I have seen some porcs that were insanely aggressive when they got to a larger size
