Marine GSP Tankmates

Post by raliugaluis »

Hi, Is it possible to have a GSP with a Porcupine Puffer and a Picasso Trigger, can this be possible ?

The size differences are quite different. How large is the tank? Just the porc puffer & trigger would need 200g.

My guess is the trigger will eventually gut him.

They are pretty mean but puffer's skin is really tough. If the trigger constantly harassed the puffer though, it would be quite stressful for the puffer.

I was wondering about niger triggers later on with my ceylons but i adore my ceylons way too much to risk them with a tempermental trigger. Right now they are doing great with their GSP buddies picking food outa the caulerpa bed.

PS the picasso at the store i work at is a real piece of work he could abuse a stone into gravel and find it entirely too entertaining, but most arent as bad as him.

I think a Niger would work out just fine as long as the puffers dont nip his big tail. Then again it prolly all depends on the fish and the room you have for them.
