You should do research before adding any fish. A Spotted Puffer should never be in a 30 gallon tank.
If you're going to upgrade, the intelligent thing to do would be to wait to buy the fish when you have the proper housing for him. A 75 is the bare minimum that fish will need.
I don't know how long he'll live in that tank but I feel sorry for it. If you have other fish in the tank, the answer is not long, and your tank has a good chacne of crashing, costing you the rest of your fish as well.
You should take it back to the store so it has a chance, and research before you buy anything.

Lets not keep a fish in the bare minimum please. Just because it only gets to about 4-5 inches doesn't mean it doesn't like the extra swimming room. You want your fish to be happy and stress free.
