Leopard pufferfish in a 120 liter aquarium?

Question

Hi, I have a 120-liter aquarium and would like to have a pufferfish (Tetraodon schoutedeni). In the tank are four calm platies, six zebra danios, two panda armored catfish, a small catfish, and five neon-like yellow fish. Is a puffer fish possible?
thanks in advance

The pool is too small... without the other fish he needs a minimum of 160l

Hi.

How about a second one? 😅

As a minimum, 200l are to be used here, which results from the intelligence, behavior and movement of these animals. Then you can also keep a group and maybe try out if the ones you actually have are so peaceful, ball fish are always a little character heads where it can happen that might be seized by others.

Then your fish could also increase so that it feels more comfortable and, if necessary, bring them in order, because they can't keep them all kind. The platys to fourth are limit but ok, instead of 6 zebra bears would be 10 great 🙂 instead of 2 pandas would be 6-8 great. And you should find out what this is for yellow 😅 if it goes into the orange it might be glow lights alms? Because probably they would feel more comfortable. The little catfish may be a brown catfish?

No. Even for the fish already present, the basin is too small.
