The Puffer Forum

I have 1 gsp in a 55 gal tank and just wanted to know if it was a big enough tank to add one more puffer to the tank. If it is then should i just get another gsp or can i get a different species like the figure 8 or something

You can add fish, but I wouldn't mix species. F8 and GSP require different levels of salt.

Ceylon may be a choice, but the tank would be too small :/

Maybe some gobies?

When you get that puffer up to SW, you can add a tomato clownfish or a few damselfish.

What is your salinity?

LOL!! yea just read PP's comment on another threat that GSPs will eat the gobies.

ya the SG is only at like 1.009 right now because the 55 gal is fairly new but im just trying to get a feel for what i can put in the tank with him once i get everything where it needs to be

If I were you I would wait until your at full marine before adding tankmates, you have more options then.

Remember that 55 gallons is the minimum for 2 GSP...by that I mean 1 gsp per 55 is probably more accurate.

I am having trouble now with have 2 per 55, It is just not big enough for nerf footballs with attitude.

ok i will probably wait till im at full marine then

I am a roomy tank nut. Someday the hobby will learn that 55s are not big tanks. Personally I would not keep two GSPs in less than a 75, and would likely use a 120. But I am a little neurotic about water quality - to put it mildly.
