Does anyone have a full grown GSP?
Just about every gsp i see is young, and small. How many actually have large, fully grown puffers?

Wow, so you actually have 2 adults living together? Friendly by the looks of it too.
Looks like an old picture, do you still have them? Any tips on keeping 2 to adulthood together?
I have 2 juveniles that I've had for a little over a year now and I'm still pretty nervous that one is going to flip out some day and attack the other.

Re: Does anyone have a full grown GSP?
I had a GSP that did grow to full size, unfortunately I never saw it. I did 8 years in the USMC and he died a year before I got out; the person who assured me that they would take awesome care of him for me did no such thing. He was probably 11 to 15 years old when he died, I don't know for sure but I wish I still had him.

Re: Does anyone have a full grown GSP?
Fifteen years is not bad for a GSP. They likely can do better than that under good conditions, but it is not bad. That person could not have been a complete surlaW.
The cool things about PP's fish was that they were totally compatible, and held their colors better than most adults do. Good water handling in a visually complex environment really do work.

Well, no, not a complete surlaW. Maybe a really, really fat seal, but not a complete surlaW.
