The eye doesn't look bad but the shredded fins are worrying. Maybe a tankmate hurt it? I think you should quarantine it and treat it with a bacterial remedy so nothing gets infected

125 or a 150 I believe
We had an angle in the past with no problems
big difference between the two and puffers do much better with 180 gallons plus. the smaller tank size and a angel introduced after the other more agressive fish set their territory will only worsen agression
