I have a 37 galllon tank with a hi fin prawn goby, 6 line wrasse, royal gramma, firefish, and ocellaris clownfish. I know a Leopard Puffer (max size 3 inches) can go in the tank, but I'm not sure if it will get along with everyone. Right now everyone is friends, and hangs out. This puffer is listed as peaceful w/ minimum 30 gallons on liveaquaria... but will it make my tank too crowded? Is it territorial? Is my tank already fully stocked lol. Anyone with experience?
 
Leopard puffers are generally very calm. But you might have trouble getting it to eat. They are a deep water species and relatively new to the hobby. The six line could be an issue with aggression. Look into a valentini as well if you don't have corals
 
They are much more peaceful than sixlines, so I wouldn't worry about aggression from the leopard, though I have had them nip at fleshy brain corals.
