Got my little green leopard puffer fish today.
Pet store told me the below and I really make sure I do this right for my daughter she is just in love with it! (Already named it Fluffy lol)
5 gallon tank would suffice?
3/8 cup salt?
To feed it frozen blood worms daily?
Thank for the advice and help!

My 1st question to you would be, how did you cycle this tank? It sounds to me you are way ahead of yourself, if you purchased the fish & tank at the same time & are asking questions after.
library/puffers-in-focus/an-introductio ... d-puffers/
library/water-filtration/fishless-cycling/
My suggestion to you would be to return the fish & do some research. A 5g is only large enough for a single DWARF puffer, not a GSP.

Tank was set up for 10 days before I got my fish.

Setting up & running an empty tank (no matter how long) with no cycling process is asking for trouble. Please the links I provided you.
