They have different SG requirements.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

Not a good idea, the GSP will get bigger than the F8 and the F8 needs light brackish whilethe GSP needs high brackish to full marine..

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

Also, I saw f8's & gsp's kept together at a LFS...the f8's tortured the gsp's! Even though they were smaller, after a week we convinced them to separate the f8's from gsp's. The f8's seemed to be ok w/ each other after that.
