I am adding 2 GSP's to a 75 gallon tank with a Pleco I have had for more than 10 years (~15 inches). Pleco has long lived with African Cichlids in somewhat brackish water so I am hoping there is a salinity level that will suit both Pleco and Puffers even as the Puffers get older and need more salinity, but I'd appreciate any thoughts, precautions, tips, etc. Also, I am assuming that Pleco's size and "armor" will mean that the Puffers will co-exist peacefully with him, but again, any contrary experience, advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Puffers and Plecos
Plecos will NOT appreciate any salt of any kind. They are mostly softwater fish--the total opposite of BW.
