I have a 120G FOWLR tank and I have a baby porcupine puffer fish and want to know if I should introduce a Dog Face puffer fish of similar size (4 inches or so). I have heard that it is best to limit each tank to one puffer and I have also heard they would be fine together.. Need some advice. Good Advice Needed on Compatability

I think you're going to find that each of those puffers needs a large size tank and my advice would be to NOT add a dogface puffer. That porcupine is going to grow and it's going to need all of that tank space to itself.
I'm not a marine expert, so I will let someone else add to this, but I think tank space is going to be an issue.

This combo rarely turns out well. Never mind that 120g is the perfect size for a single adult porc. I'd keep him as the main display fish & then add smaller "dither" fish to the tank.
