I have owned my gsp Puff for six months now and my other Polo for two months in 34 gallons and I love them to bits already! I've joined the forum ready to learn even more about my two, they are currently in low end marine being fed frozen and live foods. I have come to learn how smart my puffers are, they have even learned tricks and know that the feeding wand means food which is unlucky when the younger ones come round and wave it in front of their tanks making them go crazy at the glass when they spot it. So here's a few pics of my two, I really need new pics as these are all from the old set up!

I love that middle picture, puffer is nice and fat

You do know that 34 gallon tank for two GSP is too small, right.

Welcome lovely looking puffers. I know it's already been put here about tank size, but what are your plans for an upgrade?

Ooooo cute!! they look very outgoing!
my GSP still have some kind of shame or fear to the camera...

They're upgrading to a 50 gallon soon

Thanks for all the lovely replies! Puff had worms when I got her hence why she's so skinny but she's been treated since then she REALLY likes the camera!

I've not tried so much with Polo, his stomach is almost always fat! Even straight before feeding time it's a little round and the other one's with be much slimmer yet they eat the same amount so when I do feed him he's a balloon and the other one has a rounded belly (not too round).

Could I convince you to reconsider upgrading to a larger tank? 30g is the bare minimum for a singleton.

Huh? They're going in a 50 and if I feel they need a bigger one I'll get a 75 after it

They WILL need bigger! My 2 outgrew the 55g they were in. Imagine 3 Nerf Footballs in there.

They WILL need bigger! My 2 outgrew the 55g they were in. Imagine 2 Nerf Footballs in there. considering 30g is the bare minimum for a singleton & in a 50g tank with all the decor they require not to get bored, you're dealing with ~40g of real water volume.

Much easier and cheaper in the long run to house them in their forever tank. So if you are planning to get a 75 gallon why not do it now?
