I would not put a large puffer with a toby.

I wouldn't recommend mixing two puffers, I know some people have but my personal experience with it was not good. We added a porcupine puff with our Stars & Stripes but the big one (s&s) went after the little porcupine. So when we upgraded tanks we added them together again and they were fine but I couldn't even look at my tank without worrying something was going to go bad. We ended up giving the porcupine away to a friend when he started cornering and eating our other fish. So I just wouldn't recommend it from my personal experience. Good luck :)
