Anyone have experience keeping two porcupine puffers together? Or say a dogface/porky. I know it is not recommended but I know people do it. Would like to hear your experiences!

I have a mappa, guineafowl, porc, reticulated dogface, and golden together in a 220... I feed a lot!!! But no aggression.. Different sizes as wellAnyone have experience keeping two porcupine puffers together? Or say a dogface/porky. I know it is not recommended but I know people do it.

2 porcs not a good idea meant to add that in my post
Here are a few of my guys!!!My porky is very docile. I have hermits and 3 peppermint shrimp he doesn't mess with. I actually see the shrimp cleaning him off. I thought about a chocolate chip starfish but didn't do it
Thanks. I love puffers... I have a home office I work from so they get fed a lot.. I think I'm lucky that I don't have any problems.. The mappa grows very quickly.. The guineafowl is my favorite.. Just a great personality.. I can pet him.. That reticulated dogface, has awesome colors.. Mappa can change colors on the fly.. Go from that leopard look to a very dark look.. I had one golden puffer that was horribly agressive that attacked every puffer in there.. I had to trade in for that smaller guy.... Just feed a lot!!!Those guys are amazing! My LFS has a guineafowl but I don't think I've seen a mappa around. And behavior differences in them. Maybe I'll get one!
Fish only... Stars and stripes are nice they also get big quick... They are more on agressive side. Them and a starry puffer have more of a mean streak... A mix like mine i I think gives you a better chance of mixing.. Dogfaces are mellow.. Guineafowls are usually.. Mappas for most part are mellow.. And try and mix sizes.. Just my two cents.... Lol....Yea my porky sure does beg for food! I feed them every night. I'm looking into a Stars and Stripes puffer also. I take it you absolutely have zero inverts!?
Pretty much... Lol... Go onto www.thereefcorner.com and they have one.. That's the size I started atHow should I choose a guineafowl.. can you get them very very small. I've only seen some that are about 4". Is that a juvenile?
Yellow belly is different than a golden.. A golden puffer is actually a guineafowl puffer.. Weird. But in captivity a golden stays a golden and a guineafowl stays a guineafowlThey have a guineafowl for $80 and my LFS. They also have a yellow belly dogface. Is that the same as a golden..?
We live and learn! With patience, and proper steps, it's a very rewarding hobby (for the most part)Well.. I appreciate everyone's help. I'm glad I didn't get a dogface. My crew is in.. QT. Dang it!! 76 days of fallow'ness for my DT. Why did I get into this hobby.
