Green Spotted Puffer Fish
Midori Fugu, Tetraodon nigroviridis
The Green Spotted Puffer or also known as Leopard Puffer will grow up to 6.5 inches that will live in freshwater, but should be transferred to marine saltwater for the best long-term care. This puffer species is as peaceful and gentle as a juvenile or when grouped with other puffers.
It is when the puffer matures that it becomes aggressive. Most puffers will not eat flake or pellet food. Rather, this puffer will feed on algae, small invertebrates, and plant matter. You can also provide dried bloodworms. This puffer’s teeth will continuously grow and become a health problem. For grinding the teeth down, you can put crushed coral sand in the bottom of the tank as well as offering snails and ghost shrimp.

I love my puffer fish from goodjoseph , healthy and pretty . They prefer the daphnia and live blood worms I give them but they have also taken frozen and freeze-dried bloodworms. They will eat snails but only seem to go after the very small ones. I believe you could get away with keeping some larger species of snail-like nerite or mystery snails
