How many gallons per GSP?

I'm planning on buying a GSP or two. Can two live happily in a 20 gallon, or is that much too small for them?

One GSP = 30 gallons

I agree with the 30 US gallon minimum requirement, but more is almost always better.

Ok, but can one live happily in a 20 gallon?

Sorry, but 30 gal minimum.

So, IMO 20 gal would be to small and that would make GSP unhappy

20gal is definitely too small. These fish get to be pretty darn big. Think the size of a Nerf football. Many grow to be larger than that as well.

I see. Any suggestions for a 20 gal brackish? Preferrably a puffer?

I've had DPs, but they are FW not BW.

That just the pain with small tanks they are very limiting....

Yeah. 3 dps or 1 figure 8 would be great in a 20g. GSPS are to large for a 20g. Good luck!
