Re: 55g tank progress with PICS
Wow that's pretty cool that they are getting along. My GSP is a little terror and I don't know what would happen if I introduced anything alien to him. He attacks anything new be it a rock, marble, snail or finger... Tank looks good and I am a fan of macro's as well. Thanks for the pictures.

Re: Does your puffer eat macro algae?
My GSP doesn't eat the cheato. But he does go after bits of leftovers tangled up in it. I thought he was stuck once, but he was just doing what he does...

Re: 55g tank progress with PICS
Yeah, they seem to be getting along great. Is the clown still in one piece? Fins still in tact? I found this thread searching for CUC info with a GSP. Was wondering how big a GSP has to be to bother turbo's or other large marine snails. My GSP has been full marine with live rock for a few months an...

Re: Hello! And yes, another Walmart special GSP...
So Paul is doing well but still in the 6g. He is restless though. Tank is cycled and all levels are ZERO. He is getting thick, his color is bright and his tail grew back. Water is just now registering on the scale and will be full brackish in a couple weeks. Will try to have him full marine in about...

Re: Hello! And yes, another Walmart special GSP...
Well we were moving and attic to attic didn't sound too good at the time... Got rid of salt, hydrometer, dual downdraft skimmer, little giant pumps, etc, the works... Looks like I have to get a bigger tank this weekend. Oh well, at least I have a nice new snail breeding tank already...

Here is a picture of the poor guy when I first received him.
He is actually fatter and a little more colorful now.

Re: Hello! And yes, another Walmart special GSP...
OK pics coming shortly. Too bad I just sold (gave away) all of my SW supplies at last garage sale. Had a wet/dry and a fluidized bed, skimmers, etc... But would be easier to just get a bigger tank I guess. Funny how this little guy might ending costing me hundreds more dollars to "rescue"....

Hello! And yes, another Walmart special GSP...
Oh they are just so cute... Last Saturday I was surprised with an Eclipse 6 gallon tank and a 2" GSP from Walmart. I had 2 reef tanks when my wife met me a dozen years ago so this freshwater stuff should be a snap (she thought). Well I am doing all I can do and explaining the process along the ...
