Hi, I am brand new here and to aquariums. i have a GSP because my fish shop told me it would solve my snail problem better than chemicals. i have a 6 gallon nanocube. my GSP is adorable but i just saw him bite the fins of my black skirt tetra (who has been a bit ill). i suspected him of doing this because another fish (another kind of tetra) has nibbled looking fins.
so i am not keeping him in brackish tank, just in freshwater. i think he is doing great with my snails but at what price.
by the way, this is a fish store which always solves my problems after the fact: like they say, "Oh didn't we tell you to do XYZ?"....
should i take the GSP back. He is really tiny but growing...
thanks

Many loaches are also avid snail eaters and are much more community minded than puffers, just be careful which you get, as clown loaches can get much larger than your tank can handle.
