First off.. would a 75 gallon Hex be Okay for one of them? And form the small ammount of research i have done in the last 5 minutes it says they are freshwater.. is this true or is it really a brackish water fish? Also, what would it eat? I mean I would buy crayfish and ghost shrimp every few days for it.. but what about inbetween? would I have to set up a worm farm?Tetraodon Pustulatus?

did you read this link? http/www.####.com/forum/ug.php/v/PufferP...r/T_Pustulatus/
a 75g hex seems a bit small on the water volume considering that they recommend 125g... also, it appears that these should cost a small fortune and even then are likely to be just baby Fahakas. not that there's anything wrong with a fahaka, but its something to keep in mind.
personally, if i got one of those, i'd see about buying large apple snails and crays in bulk. it'd probably work out cheaper to just keep a ton of those in an unheated tank/tub of water with a filter than running out to buy 2 or 3 every other day.
(it censored out the main page, but a quick google should still get you there)

If you find a Tetraodon Pustulatus, let us know. They haven't been traded for some time, although recently an importer I know has told me he's been able to maybe get his hands on some.
A 75g hex would be all wrong for a fish of this type. You'd need a 4x2x2 minimum to keep one of these amazing fish.
