my largest gsp died last saturday. it was 2.5 inches was about 2 years old. it has been floating around in the tank last week but the coloration is still good. no indication of any sickness or malnourished. 
well, i decided to do a post mortem of it and i found out there are eggs inside her! *all the time i thought its a he*. did not take any photos though. the eggs are about 1mm in diameter and yellow. there are approx 30 or more eggs inside an egg sac.

2. 3 ft x 1.5 x 2. 5 other GS puffers. 1 x 2.4 inch, 3 x 1.5 inch & 1 x 0.7 inch.
3. brine shrimp + bloodworms. occasional clams + small crabs. as no. 1. nutrafin water conditioner.
4. about 2 - 3 years. ermmm... never did a proper tank cycling thou.
