I bought a green spotted puffer before, but it kept spazzing out, and died within a week. I'm going to get another one, but I'm going to get different things to keep it in and entertained with. I wanna make sure it lives longer than the first one.
Answers:
First, find out if the store is keeping it in fresh water or brackish water(most sell them as freshwater fish). GSP's are brackish water fish, and if they're sold as a fresh water, they'll need to slowly over time be acclimatized to brackish. They need great water quality %26 a tank that's already cycled, and a tank that's at least 20-30 gallons. Mine loved frozen blood worms and frozen or live brine shrimp, and cut up pieces of cocktail shrimp. Here's a great site with loads of info on puffers:

Click on the brackish puffers picture and it'll give you a profile of GSP's. There's also a good forum there. I'd read up on them a lot before buying it. They can be a bit of work if you're not used to it.
i also rase green spotted puffer fish.
buy lot of green plants and
green puffer fish also help to keep clean by eating the water snails in the tank or landscape.
Green spotted puffers do well in salt water
