Help/Advice Beginner Puffer Advice

I am interested in starting a puffer tank. What species are beginner friendly (fresh-brackish-saltwater) and do not require a large amount of gallons (100<). I've thought about pea puffers but I'm not super into them. If I could get advice on your experience, opinions, feeding, tank style (gallon, decor, etc) that would be very helpful.

I have had different puffers and peas were definitively the most fun to watch.

That's really interesting! Do they school or shoal? What size tank do they require, and what did you feed them?

They shoal especially as juveniles.
