Abei puffer questions?

So after what feels like an eternity looking for a red eye puffer without success (Carinotetraodon species) I have decided to try another type of puffer, and am starting to like the abei puffer but I have a few questions that I have found no clear answer to online. I can buy one now, but want advice first!

1.) I am starting with a 20g long- will that be enough for this fish?

2.) how often is dentistry needed on these guys?

3.) do they truly only grow to 4 inches?

4.) how personable are they? What's they're personality like?

Haven't had to do any dental work on mine. From what I understand, most of the lurking types don't need it with a proper diet. Mine gets fiddler crabs and crayfish in it's diet. 20 L is a bit small but 20 L is better than 20 H. Think I covered the rest in the other post.
