but... how long does it take for them to reach adult size, approximately?

Just a quick question about how quickly GSP's grow. I bought mine when he was about 1" long and I've had him for about 2 and a half months now, he's in a 25 gal aquarium and I'm estimating here but he seems to have about doubled in size (about 2"s now, maybe a bit more). Does this seem rea...

My puffer's about 1.5", his SG is about 1.006. I figure his 20 gal. is okay for a while since he's the only fish in it and he's still tiny. I will be setting up a 38 gal. tank in the near future for my Puffy.

Thank goodness. For a minute there I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! Phew...

Hey, I have a GSP in a 20 gal. tank all by himself. He is in brackish water. The other night when I went to feed him I noticed that his belly, instead of being completely white it was kindof dark in spots. It was darker (grey/black) on the sides and near his mouth. As soon as I fed him though his be...

I bought a couple mollies today, just the regular black ones :) Currently they are in a FW tank (about 5 gal - for now) as the pet store had them in FW. My puffers tank is brackish so would the best approach be to keep the mollies seperate, raising their sg ever so slowly (.002) then when it's the s...

Maybe the pet store made up their own name for them then... I know they were called sunset mollies. Their sides were a yellow/orange colour with black speckles. They looked exactly like every other mollie I've ever seen... who knows!!! Maybe I'll just get black ones, they'll complement my puffy.

I was actually considering some mollies, I was thinkin on the "Sunset" variety. They're so pretty. Thanks

Thanks... there's so much information on this site. I missed that!

Currently I have one 1 1/2" green spotted puffer living in a 20 gallon aquarium. I'm planning on getting him a bigger aquarium as he grows a bit but was just wondering is there any fish that I could put in with him? I mean it's such a big tank and it would look "more full" if there wa...

Hey, so I've had my puffer for about 5 months now... I've been feeding him a combo of (small) shrimp, snails and (small) crickets. My question (although I imagine it's probably already been answered before, I just can't find it) what else can I feed him. I know basically any seafood (fresh) that a g...
