It's always a gamble. Some people have had mollies beat GSPs into submission; others have had the puffers eat anything and everything they've put in. Definitely don't try invertebrates; that's an obvious invitation to dinner. Something fast and agile might stand a chance.

A clownfish can usually hold its own - they can be very aggressive. Someone, I think Jase, has kept them with GSPs before, and Myaj has a burrfish with a maroon clown. If you try it, I'd still be cautious and be prepared to intervene.

I have a picasso trigger in with my GSP, in full marine of course. The trigger is half the size of the GSP, yet he runs the tank. Feeding time isn't *too* bad, never any nips taken out of anyone, but the trigger tries to hog the food all to himself. Otherwise, they both mind their own business.

I keep clowns with my GreenSpots. Everyone holds their own in the tank.
