Post by Suka »

Can a baby GSP live with plants or will it eat them?

They are brackish/marine fish..so no plants because of the salt.

What purplecandle said. Brackish whilst young followed by marine quickly for the best health of the fish.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

IMHO, GSPs are likely to be the most adaptable single species of puffer. They are easy to abuse, but have the constitution of mules or goats.
