interested in a dwarf freshwater puffer any owners out there?

im not irresponsible so i am doing all the research before even setting up a tank im just curious about how i might go about getting one as i fell in love with there cute little eyes at the store,i currently keep shrimp snails betta and breed platies sucesfully.im an mad animal lover so literally spend more time and money on them than me so dont give me some smarmy stupid answers or il simply report you.

im startting a marine tank with research?

ive had my freshwater tank for about a year and its a 55gal but they used to be in a 30 gal, should i stick with that or up to a 40 gal. I am definitely getting at least 2 bangaii cardinals. im getting live sand and live rock, is live rock and coral the same thing, i dont think so but my dad does. im trying for a pistol shrimp and a black ray goby for the symbiosis effect, im sure they should all fit in their with a sea anemone. would these fish and anemone work out?
ok so no to the anemone, and im doing great with my other tanks and i didnt really ask anything about coral besides if it was the same as live rock, which i already knew it wasnt =P looks like im done with that extra months worth

Saltwater conversion?

So i had a 10gallon freshwater tank with 2 fishes.
My parents decided to buy me fishes without telling me.
They got me 2 baby clownfish and a cleaner shrimp.
I couldn’t resist so i went and got instant ocean.
I cleaned EVERYTHING.
Now i have a bacteria bloom in my tank.
I decided to let the cleaner shrimp in.
The 2 baby clown fish are in the plastic bag, its opened but its floating in the water

I was thinking ill just leave them in the bag floating on the top of the tank till things stabilize and ill just feed them in there.
Will they survive in bag or do i need to add water etc?

I’m switching to saltwater?

I’ve been keeping freshwater fish for about 4 years now, and I’m finally going to try to keep a saltwater tank. I’m going to be buying a 90 gallon tank and am thinking about getting one yellow head moray eel to go in it. I’ve read that these are very hardy fish. Do you think a 90 gallon is big enough? I don’t plan on putting any other fish in it besides the eel, although someone told me that cleaner shrimp make great tankmates for morays.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.
