One more GSP?

Post by GSP 3 »

Hey everyone,

If you were reading in the hospital section unfourtunately one of my gsp's died a few days ago, my question is once i get the tank stable and the other 2 GSP's in there happy again should i buy a third GSP again? I heard it was best to keep them in uneven numbers. The two i have now are under 2 inches and are in a 30 gallon tank. Thanks!

Absolutly not, the tank you have them in now is much too small..If you upgrade to at least a 90 gallon I should be ok...Most puffs do better by themselfs but as long as they have enough room it would be ok...

That's a great sounding tank! I know how hard it can be to resist those cute little guys but it would be best for your puffs..

Good idea to keep a close eye on them. You say they seem to get along pretty well but that can change rapidly so be prepared. Good luck with them.
