2 GSPs?
Can a GSP live with another GSP?

Re: 2 GSPs?
It all depends. The size of the tank is the main issue. Also GSP's are an aggressive puffer and my not tolerate another. But like I always say, it is hit or miss with puffers. I have 2 in one tank and they get along fine, even following one another around. They are not the slightest bit aggressive. You can try it if you want to but be prepared to move one if there is nipping occurring.

If the tank's big enough to allow for both fish to have their territories, and the GSPs will allow each other's presence, then it should be fine.
Now, bring me that horizon...

Best to start them together as juveniles.

I found a 55g a bit crowded with 2 adult GSPs & all the decor they require.

Re: 2 GSPs?
I have a 25 gallon so I don't think it is big enough for 2 GSP. Geoffrey (my gsp) is still pretty little and I have only had him for a week. But I am unsure if I am getting a bigger tank anytime soon. So I guess I will just stick with Geoffrey. Thank you.
