Two GSP + Violet Goby = ???

Post by Newbie »

Now, I have a relatively small tank for my puffers, however they are just and inch long each. Thirty gallon tank. SG at 1.08

To the meat of my question. Which of these would be more unhealthy for the fish. Staying in a fresh water tank, or being placed with two puffers?

Don't criticise me please, I understand that the 'recommended' tank size is 30 per puffer, but it's an issue with parents and so on. No larger tank until they get larger.

i dont know if those gobies are ok in full marine which is what GSP require as adults for a thriving life. but since your tank is already pushed to the limit stock-wise you already risk stunting the GSP even though they are small. so i wouldnt do it. when you get them to full marine and in a larger tank you might have the opportunity to house them with other cool looking fish but only really if your puffer isnt overly aggressive

GSPs will tear the crap out of any fish that lays around all day.
