Default Types of freshwater puffer fishes

Just setup a puffer tank for my boy as a kick start on his fish hobby. (dont want him to spend too much time on electronics stuff)

will upload the puffer (from AH) photo once it settle down and the landscaping is still on-going.

meanwhile he have been doing some searching on the various types of puffers from the internet to share (with my litter help to tabulated it).

If there is any incorrect info, please share.

GSP and F8 are more towards brackish water isn't it? In fact, GSP probably have to eventually move to a full marine tank when it reaches adulthood. A good freshwater puffer would be either Dwarf puffers (1 per 5gallons), South American puffers (1 per 30gallons, they do better in groups), Fahaka and Mbu (Need a huge tank)
