Be prepared to de-worm if hes from the wild since puffers tend to come in with ips...

Also eventually a large tank maybe in order depending on what size tank his final home will be...

Also forgot to mention he will need a hard shelled diet to keep his teeth worn down...

So things like clams or mussels in full or half shell will help...

If his poo looks like a sparse string of small pearls theres a good chance your puffer has ips...

If he eats a lot and then looks skinny the next day, he may have worms...

As for meds, i keep hearing prazi pro or something like that if you're in the US...

Is there a bottom feeder or something to help clean the mess up or is any fish like that days numbered? lol

Well the calm at the store seem pretty big? There not to hard for him at this size? I got some krill in freezer too.

Not sure where you live, but if its legal, you could always breed marble crays as feeders too...

Are those the expensive ones? How easy to breed? Like guppy easy? I have been collecting all kinds of snails n breeding them.
