F8 and tank mates

Would it be possible to keep an F8 in a 75g. with 2 monos and 2 scats? The SG is at 1.008. All my parameters are good.
I'm hoping to get one today if i can.

My concerns for that combination are as follows: that SG is a little high for a F-8 - they do best around SG 1.005...
also the monos and scats would be quite a bit larger than the F-8 as well...perhaps outcompeting the F-8 for food...and dominating the tank.

The scats and monos would also over stock a 75 IMO, and would do better at a higher SG. You could do 5 f8's and bumblebee and knight gobies though, at a slightly lower sg.

The monos and scats aren't mine i wish i could return them but my GF likes them. I really want a puffer.

Do you have room for a 20 long? You could have a F8 alone in that, the safest situation, easy water changes, and a good value (20's cost ~$28-$30 around here).
