The Pedia article reccomended keeping two females to one male to help with aggressive behavior. Is a 10g still okay?

GSP (mine just died, sadness)

So, how likely are they to breed without any coaxing? 'Cause that might be a bad idea.

They sound awesome, especially in a pair. I just saw the post with the DP breeding video. So, where on that scale is a GSP? That's the only species I've had experience with, so that might help me gauge, too. (I don't want to jump into this one.)

For serioreal? Dang. I mean, a Mbu sounds crazy, over-the-top hard, since the tank is so huge and probably a B to clean and whatnot. So, they're that tough... Ouch.

Are they very hard/complicated to care for? On a scale of 1-10, if a guppy is a 1 and a Mbu is a 10, where do they fall? I thought puffers would be out of the question for several years, but I'm thinking about these guys now. Idk. I may just see how I do with guppies or mollies for a while, consider...

Ooops

What are dwarf puffers like? How easy are they to care for? What could I do with them in a 10g? Can I keep just one? What sort of (small!) tankmates are suited for them? Do they have strong personalities, like larger puffers? How hardy are they? (I've read the Pedia article.)

Haha! Hoover seems to be a trend here.

My late GSPs were named Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, and Vizinni.

Oh, never mind. They only work with 6in and under.

greenspottedpuffer.net arranges adoptions with approved owners. They deal with all sorts of puffers, not just GSPs. Idk how reliable they are; they've only just started, but they sound good. They interview prospective owners before agreeing to let them have a fish.

By the way, you should try clearing up that photo digitally and submitting it to Puffer of the Month.

Does it look like white spot?

That was a literal LOL picture, by the way, with the mussel.

Not without upgrading to 60 at least... I'm no expert, but I think that once you get more than one, you need 40g per GSP, since they're pretty territorial. So, my guess is you'd need more like 80g, but don't take my word for it.
