A GSP needs at least a 20 gallon tank as a juvenile and they are very susceptible to nitrite poisoning so unless you start doing daily 50% water changes for the next couple of months this fish won’t survive. Keep to freshwater for now as the water changes are easier.
As for feeding – snails are good as is frozen mysis.
Please google “aquarium nitrogen cycle” to help explain the processes a new tank goes through and find a new tank ASAP.
Try freecycle.
EDIT – If you can’t upgrade the tank try to return the fish.
You could keep a dwarf puffer in a 5g tank but these are freshwater and the tank needs to do a fishless cycle before you get the fish.
Please research before buying any fish. http://www.aquahobby.com is a good resource.
