green spotted puffers are FW when they are young but they reach adulthood that need to be acclimated SLLLOOOWWWWWLLLYYYYY over the course of 2 weeks to salt water by doing a salt drip and then doing water changes.... it's a grueling process but I really like the green spotted puffers personality. He could be kept in a 10 gal easily for atleast a few years. They grow very slowly and you buy them when they are about a year old and are a little over the size of an in-the-shell almond. He would def. have to be kept alone. They will eat everything... I don't know if they're reef safe though.
