I would not try to keep more than 1 porc in a tank unless is was like 1000gal. There's no guarentee they would have problems, but you're really taking a risk, especially when they grow up. Many people have success keeping porcupine puffers with other types of SW puffers.

thanks for that do you have any idea which other puffers?

[crazedpuffer]

2 porcs can work but the tank would need to be huge.
I know lots of people who have kept dogface and porcs together. Porcs are very docile puffers so any other timid puffer will work great.

Also what size tank do you have? 180?

[piranha12345]

ye think its 180
dimensions = 72"x24"x24"
thanks

[crazedpuffer]

Yeah thats 180. You could do both porcs if you really wanted but anything you chose should work.

I'd go with something like a Dogface. Make sure you QT.
