The tank looks rather small to me for 3 F8s and 3 GSPs, but I could be misjudging size. What size is the aquarium?

Wow! aodrable puffers! i love all that kind of fish, P. Velifera and S.sadanundio!!
i´ve keep them both, they are simply adorable!

i see a lot of puffers, but how big is the tank?

He said 30g, which is only large enough for a single, adult GSP. Folks here are gonna give you a hard time about your stocking. How long has this tank been set up?

My suggestion is to separate the GSPs into another tank, as they have different salinity requirements than the F8. 30g ea for the GSPs, 15g for a single F8, with 10g for each more & then more water volume for tank mates. I hope you have some larger tanks in your future!

Then I'm sure you'll do right by them & get them a much larger tank, with the proper conditions.

+1 it's ridiculous to keep that many in such a small tank. Without going into the different requirements and size/ aggression

The decor is cool though.

Here are some articles on your puffers:

Also bloodworm should be defrosted before offering to your fish

They look healthy but way to many in a 30 gallon. I thought mabie 2 or 3 in a 30 gallon max.

i really like the tank decorations you have in there but with that many fish they are probly gonna start killin eachother or just super high bioload

Hehehehe we posted at the same time folks, so thats clear 30g is not enough... even F8 is almost FW, and GSP likes more High brackish end water.... thats why you´ll need two 80g tanks, one for GSP, other for F8.

I*'m glad you realize you have too many fish in there. If I were you, I'd keep 2 of the F8s & a pair of the knight gobies & re-home the rest. Can you return them to the store you bought them from?
