i have set up a tank with intent to get a pufferfish, it has to be either freshwater or brackish NOT marine

what sort of decent sized puffer could i get, i like the figure 8 puffers but have now decided i want one bigger than that but dont know names of any in order to research them, i think id want one thats about 3inches when its not puffed up, but the ones i have researched seem to be smaller than that

would also like to see pictures so i kno what im looking at!

can anyone point me in the right direction?
 
how big is your tank...anything besides dwarf puffers need at least 30 gallons each. there are green spotted puffers, figure 8s...many other south american ones. my favorite is the green spotted puffer. very cool fish to have and i wish i could have a tank big enough. they get 6 inches when full grown...and i think figure 8s dont get as big. in a 30 gallon tank you could get 8 or 9 dwarf puffers and 1 GSP. thats just my opinions

it is 100L, i dont know what is in gallons,sorry!
i will look into green spotted ones,i didnt realise they got to that size.
i was also reading about south american puffers, but wasnt to keen on reading there teeth may need to be cut regularly
