GSP with Ceylon? Any experiences?

Post by Midori »

Hello Puffer Forum,

This is my first post to the forum, but I have been following forum's discussions for months.
The forum has been invaluable to me.

I have a nice 2" Green Spotter Puffer (T. nigroviris) in 37 gallon tank. Everything is ok with the puffer and tank, but
I am planning to move the GSP to a bigger tank. I am planning to buy 100 gallons tank. I am thinking about some
other species I might place with the GSP in high end brackish water.

Ceylon puffer (T. fluviatilis) would be great, but does anyone has experiences of keeping GSP with Ceylon in relatively large tank?

In a tank that size they should get along, this does however depend on the individual puffer. Welcome to the forum.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Best to get them in the larger tank as juvies, so they can grow up together.

Thanks Bertie 83 and Pufferpunk for your help! :D

I will try to keep them together. The GSP is still juvenile and I have plans to buy Ceylon as a baby.
Maybe they will learn to live happily together. :)
I will keep the smaller brackish tank as asylum, if they start to fight.

I will be back later and tell you how they are doing.
Thanks again! :)
