In captivity, specimens can grow up to 10 cm in length. The species is an omnivorous brackish water species and is most commonly raised in water with a pH level of 8.

It is also called the giant spotted puffer or the Saba puffer.''The Puffers of Fresh and Brackish Waters'', 2001 Dr. Klaus Ebert, Aqualog Verlag GmbH. The juvenile looks much like the spotted green pufferfish (''D. nigroviridis''), and both can live 15 years in an aquarium. Though the giant green spotted puffer seems to prefer a much lower salinity as an adult. It is safe to keep ''D. sabahensis'' at a salinity of 1.004 or half-brackish Brackish water, sometimes termed brack water, is water occurring in a natural environment that has more salinity than freshwater, but not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing seawater (salt water) and fresh water together, as in estuari .... References Tetraodontidae Fish described in 1975 {{tetraodontiformes-stub ...
