Male C. irrubesco and other Carinotetraodons puff quite often threatening their reflection in the mirror. Canthigasters kept in pairs or small group, too. To clarify some ranking order, I assume. But those two genera mostly use their keels and don't swallow too much water except for special threatening situations.
Puffing Arothrons and Porcupine fish are nice, too, but the most impressive puff I have seen was a GSP with erected spines all over. I'd never had assumed this looked so dramatic.
Maintainance: I have schedules, too. It gets easier with the years, water changes and cleaning becomes faster and faster, and the systems and hardware often changes to more efficient ones. What is most time consuming by far is to treat sick fish and to train difficult fish to eat dead food.
