Looking for help with puffer identification

Hello,
My LFS has gotten a new set of freshwater puffers. The tag listed them as Singapore Green Puffers, but I cant seem to find any information on them. I bought one and placed it into a 35G planted tank (minus the shrimp and snails, its alone.)

When I first brought it home, the color was uniformly dark. However, it looks like it has somewhat calmed down, and it's color has lightened up a bit.

Any help with ID?

I’m pretty sure that’s a Leiodon Cutcutia. Here’s an article discussing their care requirements: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/fish/oc ... puffer.php

Interesting - i came across these yesterday for the first time. My lfs has these in 1.03 saltwater. Are these brackish or fresh?

I agree with Leiodon cutcutia. Freshwater!
