It depends on what other fish you have in the tank. Some puffers are aggressive and will not tolerate other fish. Puffers can also be very destructive and like to bite off pieces of your coral or decorations. They have to trim their teeth that way. They do make wonderful pets mainly because they have little fear of humans and make eye contact that melts your heart. I would research the exact species of puffer you want. Learn as much as you can about it. If you have time and want to read a great book, get "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist".
