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...

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.
It's a crayfish! It's a snail! It's a... ah who cares?
Nom nom nom!...

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
