I hope you are upgrading soon, because it's not even a dwarf lion fish. that thing will get too huge for a 55g tank

Looks like you got a good start. BadRoma is right. You need a bigger tank for your lion!

err.. aren't green spotted puffers suited only to living in brackish water?

green spot puffers can be acclimated to full marine. they live in high brackish as they get larger anyway. 3" is a bit small imo for full marine, but others have done it. i plan to put my gsp in a fowlr after he hits 4" (the puffer forum recommends waiting till they are this size or even larger to convert). ive begun collecting pieces of base rock to add to his tank for the future
