I'd like the puffers myself but the tooth thing worries me. Thats why I went the safe route of it may just get eaten. Not saying that isn't a possibility with the puffers too. Plus with the puffer who is he going to eat?
Possible conflicts among fishes

Thanks everybody for votes.
FINAL LIST:
Upper part:
1-2 Pantodon buchholzi - african butterfly fish (1 or 2 will depend on overall crew)
Middle part:
1 Apteronotus Albifrons - black knife fish
2 Ctenopoma Acutirostre - leopard bush fish (decreased to 2, thanks magpie)
2-4 Fundulopanchax sjostedti - Blue gularis (made the list after 3:2 voting vs puffers)
Bottom part:
1 Albino senegalus polypterus - Albino senegal bichir
1 Erpetoichtys calabaricus - reedfish/ropefish
Clean-up crew:
1 Agamyxis pectinifrons - Spotted talking catfish
MAYBE:
1 Bristlenose pleco (Thought: not sure...the only thing why i would take him is because of cleaning aquarium glass, but as mentioned - might be problems with slime coat....) - probably will be added - something up to max 12-15cm. Maybe L187?
1 Belonesox belizanus (Thought: something like little gar, however, not sure if possible to get) - will see after every other fish added to tank - will he won't be overcrowding already crowded tank.

Add more reedfish and you should be cool.
Nothing beats a kitchen sponge for cleaning algae either.

! The bn will do very little glass cleaning they are cool but not going to do your house work for you. And yes minimum 3 ropes is almost a must. I'd go with 1 ctenopoma too. I was watching a tank that had a bunch of babies at lfs and they mostly were fighting.I'll start with one calabaricus and if i'll see him somehow unhappy - i'll add second. (all the LFS in my place have them, so there won't be a problem).
Also rethinking on Agamyxis - he might be out, since I saw few more caves in my hardscape (undergoing DSM) where i won't be able to see him.
