Thanks for the feedback everyone, I guess I'll hold off on tank mates and let my GSP thrive solo in the tank for now. I read how red clawed crabs would be tasty treats but my GSP might be too small and the crab could pinch/clinch onto the GSP if it tried to eat it. What size does my GSP need to be i...

I visited my local fish shop and the owner recommended Knight Gobys as a brackish tank mate for my GSP. He didn't have any in at the time but said more would come in first thing next week. What is your guys/gals take on this? I been doing my own research on other brackish fish and I really like Gree...

30 gallons is the minimum for GSP's, so your tank is fully stocked. Danio's are freshwater. I definitely don't want to overcrowd the tank, but is it really accurate to say my tank is fully stocked with only one GSP? I can't get away with throwing in a few more fish in the tank? I just picked this u...

I just upgraded to a 30g tank for my GSP and I would like some help stocking it with other fish. I know that GSP's can be aggressive but I've read how mollies and danios do okay with them. What are some other things I can put in the tank with it being overstocked. As of right now, I have one GSP (ha...

I was bored and read the back label of my dechlorinator (Tetra AquaSafe) and I realized I overdosed my 30g tank. Based on my measurements, I accidentally added twice the amount of water conditioner to the tank. Will overdosing x2 be harmful and perform a 25%-50% water change or am I okay? Good news ...

Again if you use Safe Start, it will get your tank cycled right away. I read somewhere that Safe Start was only effective for freshwater, my SG is at 1.010, so would it be better to resort to Bio-Spira? I'm planning to go my the pet store tomorrow and look for these products to get my cycle going.

What did you clesn theused tank with? If the 5g isn't cycled (heck, even if it is, it's just too small to keep 1 GSP in there, never mind 2), I'd put the 2 puffers in the 30g now. There is an emergency cycling article in our Library. DON'T LET THE SHOPS TRY TO SELL YOU ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE R...

I just picked this up as a hobby less than 2 weeks ago and I currently have 2 GSP in a 5 gallon tank. After some research on the internet, I learned that my 5 gallon was wayyyy too small for my GSPs so over the weekend I ended up getting a 30 gallon tank off craigslist. I spent most of the day clean...
