That explain why the GSP destroyed the Rotala and the red hygrophilia! ñ_ñ
Well, for the top lid, the monster fish keepers recommend a Black plastic net, is hard, not visible and prevent puffers & otheR fish to scape jumping hehehe
Anyway i will be careful on selecting species to share tank with GSP, till now, Toxotes and Neovespicula Depressifrons seems to be the best, non aggressive tank mates.
But I´m still thinking abut Monodactylus argenteus, i like these fish to much, i hope puffer´s don't mind cuz my attentions are 100% on them, anyway... this guys seems to be very jealous...

Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...

Re: Lactoria Cornuta, GSP & Friends?
It's usually the GSP who ends up being aggressive. I would strongly encourage you to keep your GSP alone if possible, unless you don't mind your archer getting killed. I would get the wasp fish out of there as well, since they are venomous. GSPs don't really belong with anything IMHO.RVS wrote:That explain why the GSP destroyed the Rotala and the red hygrophilia! ñ_ñ

Re: Lactoria Cornuta, GSP & Friends?
I already put the net! hehehe it doesn't look bad and fish cannot pass trough it, ¿how big are your fish?
you must buy a net with smaller cells than fish but not so small cuz light won't pass hehe
Oh my god Reaperpilot! it seems that my puffers will live alone in a 70g tank, and they become aggressive to each other, i will divide the tank in two...
I hope these puffers don't develop their assassin instinct heheh so i can work on a 270G community tank.

Oh, I have very small grid screen, pliable, it's not a gigantic tank like the one you're planning.

Hehehehe Thats ok... cuz i remember i bought a black net with a very small cell, and light couldn't pass it, you can imagine what happens to the plants u_u
Umm about the tank i will wait to see how aggressive my puffers get, if i see they are still calm down and relax, i will build the 270g, but if they become demons! hehe i will forget the 270 hahaha
