Re: 55 Gallon Biotype Aquarium for GSP

I hate mollies! LOL. I'm planning on putting in a knight goby as I haven't read anything about GSP needing to be solitary.

Re: Acclimating Fish to Brackish Water

I wanted to cycle the tank as brackish to start with. That way I could add some of the brackish fish first, like a knight goby and then add the puffers last. I know with marine fish you acclimate them with a drip method over several hours, and if the puffers were orginally housed in freshwater, woul...

Re: 55 Gallon Biotype Aquarium for GSP

I have had a GSP puffer before who was a joy, and plan on not having the tank planted but using plenty of silk plants for the natural ...

55 Gallon Biotype Aquarium for GSP

I am planning on having a 55g brackish biotype aquarium for two GSP. Can anyone give me some insight on what other fish they would be compatible with? And if anyone has some pictures of this type of aquarium, I would love to see them :)
