They will not get comfortable witthout room to determine territories. 5 aggressive predators in a 29g is VERY stressful!

They are being stunted in the 29.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: my puffer problems
Taking 4 GSP from a 45 gallon, and adding them to a 29 gallon already stocked with 1, isn't exactly a rescue. If you truly want what is best for them, either rehome them, or house them more appropriately.
