I agree. Only 1/2 the fish fits on my page but definitely a GSP. If the other puffer is the one in your avatar (GREAT pic, BTW!), the GSP will most definitely kill it. :( Check our Pufferpedia for IDs.

you are right..i was certain that they were 2 dwarf...but they are 2 gsp
my tank is only 12g and i see that the gsp can't stay in it, even because it's fresh water
i have to bring they back to the shop :(

Hope they will be ok. :( Poor GSP's, they may wind up dying in the shop or by an uninformed future owner.

They are the most commonly mis-sold puffers.

Tell your LFS that they screwed up and need to give you a 55 gallon at their cost so you can keep the 2 gsp's they sold you!
