The Puffer Forum

I currently have female green spotted puffers in a 10 gallon heavily planted tank. I have had other fish in this tank before, 2 golden long-finned danios, and the puffers left them alone. In fact, the danios pecked at my puffers, which is why they are no longer in that tank. I was wondering what other people's thoughts were about tank mates? I also have seen my GSP go after other fish, but become disinterested quickly if the "prey" is too fast for them. Ideas?

my first idea is get a bigger tank. 10g just will not do for a GSP. as far as tank mates, if your gsp accepts them, a tomato clown or sometimes a damsel. (thats once they hit SW) im sure PP, Syn or somebody can and will take over and fill you in on your puffer, and link you to a page where you can read about their needs. You are "slightly" off with the small amount of info given.

The plants says its in freshwater. it is not a freshwater fish.
10g tank is far faaaar to little.

Before spending any money on other fish you should consider giving your GSP his necessities.

also, sure its a female?

They are not female, they are stunted.

One GSP should be alone in at least 30 gallons of BW to SW. Larger would be better.
