Hello Mate is this the puffer you want? He's a Arothron Manilensis (Narrow Lined Puffer)

Any suggestions for tank mates at all cos I hear they are no so aggressive as others I hear that they are quite relaxed but can have a nasty turn if provoked or bullied but I could be wrong in th info I have read??
