No they can't. Two totally different requirements. The GSP is high brackish to marine conditions and the Fahaka is pure fresh water.

right my puffers are in fresh water and so was the water in the pet shop that I got them, I just need to know if they will try eat each other. I know that GSP live a better live in brackish water. but I also know they are fine in fresh water to start with.

WHEW! Why do you want to get rid of them?

Please direct her to this forum. It's obvious she doesn't know what she's doing, if she has to ask that. How big is her fahaka tank?

I have no idea how big her tank is, we need to rehome them as we are moving to a smaller flat and wont have room for our tank.

Will your LFS take them back? Do you have anything like Craigslist where you are from?
