What size tank I had available would determine it for me. Ceylons grow to 8" vs. GSP 6". 2" on a puffer is quite a bit of mass, and bioload.

Also what was available too. GSPs are pretty common, and ceylons are not.

What size would a ceylon need, and is their personality or behavior different. I know they are hard to come by, and my LFS has four of them, so I thought I would check into it.

I think they are prettier (mine had orange fins) & seem to have a little sweeter disposition. 40g would be good.

He/she is hilarious. He/ she is staying just under the drip tubing and letting it pound him/her on the head. :shock:

It's pretty funny. He/she is completely covered with even perfect spots. He's missing one just on the top of his/her head (where the water was hitting) :lol:

I got him tp eat some bloodworms and a snail. I say he, because he ignores me and likes to look at his reflection in the glass. Any ideas for names?
