Fahaka tank mates

Good morning everyone

Hope your all keeping safe in these uncertain times.

Just a question to anyone who has fahaka puffer and tank mates what have worked for them. My fahaka is around 5inch at the moment in a 600 litre tank.

I was thinking of possibly introducing some cichlids to the tank but cichlids which are much bigger than the fahaka.

I haven't kept that species of puffer but generally puffer fish should not be kept with other species. They regularly eat their tank mates, and if the puffer gets stressed, they can release poison into the water and kill everything.
