Finally found one!!!

From what I understand, they are similar to green spot puffers in that regard except they can live in fresh all their lives and they can go much higher in salinity than marine
These fish have no access to marine environments but can tolerate huge range of salinities in varying desert environments.
"Lake Eyre is a vast endorheic basin within which lies the lowest point in Australia at some 15 m BMSL. It only fills with water occasionally and when it does so forms the country’s largest salt lake. C. eremius does not occur in the lake itself since no fishes are able to survive there, rather it inhabits isolated freshwater springs, flowing artesian bores (wells), and ephemeral waterholes where it tends to be associated with rocks and other submerged cover.
It’s capable of withstanding extreme variations in temperature (5-41°C/41-105-.8°F), pH (6.5-11.0), salinity (1-37.5 ppy) and dissolved oxygen (down to 0.8 ppm O2)."
