Puffer fish question

[sharonafix]

Can two puffers be put together in one tank? I am thinking about a porcupine puffer and a Hawaiian puffer or saddleback?
Anyone that has had good or bad luck, please advise.

What size tank, what kind of substrate and how much, do you have live rock, what kind of filtration do you have, do you have a sump or fuge, do you have a skimmer? Need some details

55 Gallon
2-3 inch crushed coral on bottom
no sump
protein skimmmer twin pak hangs on back of tank
undergravel filter with jet pump to circulate water
no live rock
Only have one niger trigger in the tank at this time

There is not really much in the form of puffers that can live long term in a 55g. I am pretty sure there are people out there that have been successful with a Valentini (SP?) but other than that I am not sure any would be able to stay in a tank of that size. Right now I have a porky puffer in my 55g but its still only 2 inches long and will be moving to my 220 when it gets to be a little bigger. Right now it wouldnt stand a chance with my Clown Trigger.

Nah, don't bother with the bigger puffers in a 55. Go with a Valentini or another Sharpnose puffer. My Valentini is FULL of personality. I love him to pieces
