The LFS guy said he's brakish and looks a bit like a 6inch gsp so I'm hoping he's either a Giant GSP or a fully grown GSP. There's not many other 6inch brakish puffers out there is there?

Tetraodon fluviatilis. But they get about 8 inches and has saddles on the back. And set-ups are just like the GSP's when it come to high end brackish to full marine.

You will know what it is when you get it. Large GSP's look alot like they do when smaller but big...lol.

Ceylon and GSPs can live together because their requirements are the same, other than a ceylon needs 40 gallons minimum. However, a large tank, 100+ gallons, is best when having the two together.

Ceylons often get mislabeled as F8's when they're young and once they get older, that's about how they look. Like a GSP and F8 together. They're hard to find, though.
