Tell me, how can you mix them up with GSP?

The biggest problem with that is GSP's will require a much higher salinity than F8's. GSPS need marine or almost marine as adults while fig8's are happy with a much lower salinity around 1.005 or so.

They also grow 3x as large as F8s & are 3x as aggressive. Not a good mix, IMO.

My F8s are more aggressive than my GSP - but that's puffers: you never know.
