GSPs are brackish fish (can even be acclimated to marine), when kept without salt they won't do well at all. You can acclimate them to brackish but do it very slowly. They are also very messy fish and very sensitive to water chemistry - they need a pristine very mature tank (it should be fully cycled and have been running at least 4-6 months) in order to thrive.

I suggest you chat with the Puffer geeks at the forum above. I really wish Walmart wouldn't stock ANY oddball fish at all.
