can it "fit" into one? Yes.
should it be on one? No.

15 gallons is generally the minimum for a single figure 8 puffer. 20-29 gallons is preferred.
Are you planning on making it brackish?

Please go for a 20 long or 29 gallon. If you get a 29 you could probably put some bumblebee gobies in there too

If you absolutely must go the 10g route pick up a few dwarf puffers instead. Very fun little fish.

And they don't require salt
