I think 1.016 is to close to High Brakish, the max an f8 can go to is 1.008PufferBabe wrote:about 1.016?

Sure, if you don't want them to live as long as their 20 year lifespan. Not really the responsible thing to do though. Can I ask why you'd want the SG higher?

This is one of the many reasons they shouldn't be kept together. Also, GSPs will 3x the F8's mass & aggressiveness.
