nope...they need different levels of salinety and can be co-specific aggressive.

I have GSPs with archers and orange chromids. MY F8s are in a species only tank.

As stated above totally different water chemistry is needed, plus gsp are bigger and more aggressive
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

+1 to above comments. GSPs and F-8s are too different in size, water chemistry, and personality. They should not be co-housed.
