The puffer you have is the arrowhead, they are the most aggressive and predatory of the puffers. They can go in 29 gallons but 10 is too small even though they do have a very low activity level. They need 29 gallons with a very very deep sand substrate.
 
I'm afraid the arrowhead and pignose are prettyich identical I'm assumin one or the other is just a sub species lol I looked into it before purchasing him :) the pet owner and I had it out about my green striped puffer to which was sold to me as a green spotted but he's really some sort of amazon puffer or so I've read tgo it wouldn't surprise me with this pet shop guy if I did actually purchase an arrowhead instead of a pig nose as I was told he was
