Max of maybe 2 arrowheads if you have enough broken lines of sight. If you were to look into two of them put plents of driftwood to give places for them to hide if they feel threatened. IMHO I would go with a school of SAPs, or a GSP or 2. Both very active species!

Why mean? Puffers overal are pretty aggressive. Mean depends on an induvidual puff not a species, well except the c. Lorteti which is highly aggressive, most of the time. A fahaka will need atleast a 125 gall as an adult if not larger. Mbus are atleast 2000 galls as adults. I would go for some of the smaller ones IMHO. Puffer tanks (for smaller species) can be planted but there is no guarentee that the puffs will not chew a few holes in plants. Congos need to be housed seperatly due to their aggressive behavior. 75 gall is really spacious for a congo.

Other then here of course!
Honsetly I would start small and work your way up. Going large straight off for puffs can be a biiiiiiig step.
