columbian catfish, they will out grow your tank though.

Get a Raphael Catfish (Striped or Spotted). Make sure you give them a cave to hide in that the puffers can't get to. The Raphael Cat is nocturnal, so it will help clean the bottom at night and should be able to hide out during the day and avoid the fin nipping. The only problem could be if you keep your water brackish for the figure 8's, they might not like the water...but I'm not too knowledgeable about brackish tanks.

I would go with the columbian shark cats, but as e-cat said they do grow quite large.
One of the good things about shark cats is that when small they are always active day and night.
