The Puffer Forum

Well my GSP Daisy is still doing REALLY well. In fact, she is quite the little porker now. I try to feed her based on the puffiness of her belly. If she is rounded out, no food, if she is slimmed down, I feed her. Just yesterday the hubby and I were remarking at how much she seems like she has grown since we got her. She was skinny then, now she is a plump little girl (hehe). Her tail has grown out almost completely (was chomped quite a bit when we got her). Has anyone else seen a remarkable change in their puffer after a month or so? Her color is so clear and bright, her belly is white as can be - happy and swimming all day long. I'm just so happy she is doing well. We've gotten quite attached to her

Oh, and opinions anyone... can you keep two GSP together sucessfully in a 20 G tank? Daisy is VERY docile now, but I would hate for that to change as she gets older.

My smaller GSP Jillybean seemed to grow VERY fast, started at an inch or so, and in half a year she's healthily over two inches. Shakespeare I got bigger, the size Jilly is now, and has grown slower, but has still put on over an inch in a year or so. I wouldn't add a second GSP to a 20 gallon tank, as one will outgrow it soon enough, anyway. I'm in the situation of being stuck with an overstocked puffer tank, and would never do it voluntarily.
