hi,

I went into my LFS and they have some juvenile GSP's (about 2 inches).

I have done a lot of research on these and know although they grow to 6 inches, they need space as they are messy and aggressive.

As they are juveniles, could I start with a higher number, say 6 or 8, with the intention of moving them to a bigger thank when they are getting bigger?

There is lots of plants and lots of regular water changes. I am also aware of the brackish requirements.

Thanks.

Buy the single 1 you can house in the tank you have now. Even at 2", I wouldn't house >2 in there. Sometimes life happens & the upgrade never does. Estimate 120L+/fish.

do you think I could fit more if I would do more regular water changes? or is it more an aggression issue?

Yes, an issue of territory & swimming room.
