Sorry to hear that!
Puffers lose most their poison in captivity so if your congo seems fine now chances are he won't die.

Your puffer should be fine. Didn't you know the Congo is a killer?

as a matter of fact yes but my congo sits there in the sand and it takes her like 6 hours to eat one fish but when i combined them she went straight for the gsp and well.....

Species aggression is very common with puffers. Sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss. I recently had a tank explode here as well so I feel your pain.

I'm always afraid one of these days my gsp's are going to get into a deadly fight.

The worst mine have ever done is bite a hole in the other's tail, when they steal food from each other, they spin around in place to get their face away from the other, and sometimes the puffer that has had the food stolen doesn't realize what happened soon enough and if the thief literally shoves his tail into the other puffers face, it has happened that the thief's tail gets a hole in it. A pretty, perfectly round hole actually, that heals quickly. It's been half a year since that happened, at least.
