Green Spotted Puffer with a Saddle-Back Valentini Puffer?

Post by GSPufferGSP »

I took a trip to my LFS a week ago and saw a Valentini 1 1/2 inches the same size as the puffer I currently have! But what I'm getting at is are these two possibly compatible, my Green Spotted Puffer isn't very aggressive because I have him with a Figure Eight puffer who isn't very aggressive either and is the same size. Any Feedback is appreciated!!!

Mixing puffers is generally a no go, it sometimes works with gsp and ceylons but that is as far as it goes. Gsp and f8 are no good together as they need totally different water conditions and the gsp will get much bigger and a lot more agressive than a f8
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

I mentioned to you before, your puffer isn't near adulthood yet. Just wait til he's the size of a Nerf Football!
