If I did my math correct 90l is around 23gal and I believe your talking about Tetraodon nigroviridis. If so unfortunately the answer is no. 23gal is actually not even enough for 1 - the minimum tank size recommended for one GSP is 30gal.

Thats the RECOMMENDED size for an adult. These fish have the potential to get to 6 inhces but most dont cross the 4 inch mark. But they may get to 6 inhces slowly once 4 inches.
90 litres is fine for one...for now? Ive got one in a soon to be 15 gal but at the moment hes in an 8 gal...its big enough for now as hes 2 inches but i will be upgrading soon

Actualy the average size of a GSP adult is 6" and in some cases larger. You maybe are thinking of the Fig8 which is about 4"

So basically, if you have your heart set on 2 GSP's, than you need a 60 gallon tank bare minimum with lots of overfiltration. Otherwise just return them both, or you can keep one and upgrade to a 30+ gallon tank with overfiltration. It's your call...

so how many could figure 8 puffers could be kept in a 90ltr?

Perhaps more important than tank size is water quality. Both of these fish are kept in brackish water, and that would be paramount over tank size.

Hopefully a mod will move this over to the right section.
