In a MASSIVE tank with LOTS of cover (I'm talking about a 300+ gallon setup) and the knife might stay hidden enough.... MIGHT.

I think the knife would look like a large worm to a puffer and would end up dinner

I have kept 2 BGK with Filbert. I also kept a pair of 20 year old elephant noses with him. the birchir didn't fair well with him though. Too much like worms, I think. He has a tankful of fish that live with him. He's a special fella!

I will not comment on keeping two elephant noses together, much less in a tank with a macro puffer.
