I had couple BBG with no problem. But it was short period of time about six months when I gave BBG away.

Re: Figure 8 puffer and GSP live tohether?
I have two F8s with six BBGs. Seems like most of the time the puffers are more afraid of the BBGs although nobody really attacks each other. They just give each other space. I have mollies with the F8s that were fry of my other mollies, they are approx. 3/4 inch long right now, and the mollies compete with the F8s for food (that is, they stand up to the puffers, and the puffers dont attack them). But I dont know about with GSPs, and I had a question about that... in the types of puffers I just looked at all the pictures and it had GSPs in with Brackish puffers (even though I know ppl on this forum always say they are SW) but does that mean they are a high SG brackish, but not considered SW? Also, it makes me irritated because the petstore we just got our F8 from is keeping GSP with F8s in brackish, and its no wonder that the puffers fins are all bitten up. We were lucky to get ours, it was keeping to itself and its fins were unharmed.

My F8 lived peacefully with 5 BBGs for a year then they started dissapearing one by one until none where left.

GSPs are a high brackish fish and many people bump the water up to SW as it's cheaper and the fish do well in it.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
