T. schoutedeni vs. C. irrubesco for 40 gallon breeder community tank?

Hello, all, I'm interested in getting a freshwater pufferfish - I love how smart and personable puffers seem - of some kind, but I'm not sure what, if any, species would be suitable for one of the tanks I have available.
I have a 40 gallon breeder tank that already houses a trio of peacock eels (Macrognathus siamensis), and a school each of espei rasboras (Trigonostigma espei) and drape fin barbs (Oreichthys crenuchoides). I know there are puffers that would fit in that tank in terms of bioload and swimming space, but I've gotten mixed information as to whether any of those species are compatible with the fish already in there.
If there aren't any puffers that would be compatible with the fish already in my 40 breeder, I also have a 10 gallon tank that hasn't got any livestock in it yet. Would that be big enough to house any of the smaller puffer species?
