Some may disagree with me, me but I think that puffer may be a
Tetraodon Sabahensis, (Indian Giant Spotted Puffer) , not a green spotted puffer. His markings are very MBU like. If this puffer grows more than 6inches (15 cm), he is likely
not a green spotted puffer.
Here are pictures of Tetraodon Sabahensis puffers

To modem, this puffer needs a large tank, at least 40 gallons (151 liters) so he can grow big and healthy. He would also need more decorations like caves and plants to be happy. Please upgrade his tank.

Looks identical to my adult GSPs:
I do agree that modem's puffer needs more decorations. My guess is it may still be in freshwater, too? Aragonite substrate is recommended.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was wrong all along. I need to change the display name. It is in brackish water. Thank you again.

The tank is obviously overstocked and they require different sg.
Btw, all your f8 are really BEAUTIFUL!

Yes, those F8s are absolutely gorgeous!
How many gallons is that tank? You have a LOT of puffers in there. What is the SG?

Was that a betta I saw? That tank is beatiful, but a total nightmare. It is wrong to mix puffers, especially ones that require different water conditions.

Your betta is STRICTLY a FW fish & will be ripped to shreds by the puffer.

lol I have never seen a puffer pond before. I think those other fish were mollies and fancy guppies.
