The exact breeding habits differ from species to species, but puffers are extremely hard to breed and very few people have ever had success. Usually the female lays her eggs on a slate stone, or in a sand bed. The male will fan them with his tail, gently rotating them until they hatch (how long this takes varies by species).

How does a porcupine fish reproduce?

After a male and female porcupine puffer fish mate there are spherical eggs that drift throughout the water (Casey Patton, Education Biological Profiles). When the fish mate they go to the top of the ocean and it usually occurs early in the morning (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). After about five days the eggs hatch and become larva (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). Then in about three months' time the larva has developed into a porcupine puffer fish (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). People might think that the porcupine puffer fish guards their offspring but surprisingly they doesn't (Aquatic Community).
