Bigger Tank?

Post by Puffer_holic »

I have an (about) one and a half inch GSP and an (about) nearly-one-inch F8 living in my 10 gallon brackish tank. I know that I'll need a bigger tank for them and eventually will have to separate them, but how soon do I need a bigger tank?

Relatively soon you'll need two different tanks. I would do it sooner then later.
The F8 will require a 15 gallon tank and slightly brackish (1.005 SG), while the GSP will need 30 gallons and a high brackish to marine.

What i would do is get a 40 gallon tank(assuming you want other fish in there) for the gsp first and put him in there, and keep the figure eight in the 10. The F8 should be fine as long as you keep up with filtration. When he gets to say 2 inches i would get a bigger tank for him then.
