Not sure how fast they grow, but no, a green spotted puffer would not do well in a 10g. They grow too big and are too intelligent (they would be aware of the limits of their small area).
It would probably do okay as a juvenile, but would pretty quickly outgrow its area.

They'll need a 30 gallon.
A loach wouldn't work, as the puffers need a good brackish...
They don't grow very quickly. I've had mine for 6 months and if they've grown at all, I haven't been able to tell. They're still just under 2", which is where they were at when I got them.

EDIT: By the way, I have mine in only a 20 gallon, but in 2 months I'm getting a 55 gal for my b-day for them
