    Hey Funk, 2 of my all time favorite fish are Dog Face Puffer and Niger Trigger. I kept them together when I had a pred tank (55 gal.) along with a Panther Grouper (grew to 10-11") and believe it or not I had a Fox Face in with those! He got to about 7". Too much really for the 55 gal. but I was new to the hobby and a little crazy. They all lived a very long life, the Dog face was 10 years old when he died and the Niger was 7.
    Now, I will say I would reconsider the Clown Trigger. From my experience and a lot of money, I found them almost impossible to keep and one knowledgeable source (Robert Fenner) says they are best kept alone as a main attraction in a good size tank of their own. Have fun!

    really that sucks maybe i will rethi that and the reason the foxface lived in there is because of the venomous spines it has on its back other fish know n ot to mess with it
