Default Tankmates for Puffers?

Hello all - does anyone have any suggestions for good tankmates for a Figure 8 Puffer?

Anyone have some good links for info on puffers?

Thanks!

one more thing. keep your fig eight in brackish water. it's not supposed to be in freshwater.

Hi

I don't have a tank for the figure 8 puffer yet but was thinking of getting it a 12 gallon. Is this size big enough?

How many bumblebee gobies should I put in this tank with the puffer?

From what I've heard the puffer is a very aggressive fish. Why does the bumblebee gobie make a good tankmate?

Thanks for all you help!
