That is a gsp for sure. They need 30g each and high brackish to marine conditions

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
at least you have saved their life

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!
