Puffers need a tank to themselves. They will attack your other fish. A fahaka will grow to be the size of a 10 gallon, so leave them alone. A green spotted puffer will eventually need to be in a saltwater tank and are brackish as juviniles. The best puffer for you would be a pea puffer. They need to have plenty of black gravel snails, frozen blood worms, and frozen brine shrimp. If you don't give a puffer snails to eat, their teeth will grow too large for them to eat and they will starve. Email me if you have any more questions about puffers.

Both of the Puffers are brackish water Puffers which will not do well with Gouramis and Angels. By the way, it is not recommended to keep Gouramis or Angels in 10 gallon tanks due to the Angel's height and Gourami's size. When their fins are too close to the bottom and the surface, they get very stressed. Also, Gouramis and Angels tend to fight because they both have long fins. Look to separate the two before they are each about 3 inches.

My mistake, the Fahaka can be kept in freshwater, but they are nasty fin nippers that get about 16 inches.

puffers are not a good choice, they are fin nippers and gouramies and angels are on the top of the list of fishes that get "fin nipped"

Also you dont have the room for one. Kissing gouramies will grow to 12 + inches, and angelfish can grow 10 inches long but 12-15 inches high,
So angelfish need high tanks as well as long.

Your stocked now, and dont get a puffer.

The Fahaka Puffer is freshwater and can also be brackish water. This puffer gets very large and you will need a bigger tank when it gets older. you would be better with a green spotted puffer as it is smaller and can be purchased at your local petstore.
