Puffer ID

Help me ID my puffer please?

I was told upon purchasing it that it was a figure eight, after taking it home I realized it does not have the eye markings next to its fins and it may be a green spotted puffer or something else.

Thanks!!

PS - sorry about the picture quality.

Ceylon puffer: ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Brackish/T_Fluviatilis/
Same care & feeding as the GSP, though a 55g for a singleton is preferred: library/puffers-in-focus/an-introductio ... d-puffers/

Thanks so much, I decided to return it as my 20 gallon would not provide sufficient space for a puffer with those needs. I instead decided upon a trio of dwarf puffers (since it seems as though actual figure 8s will be very difficult to obtain)!
