How many GSP's would you reccommend in a 25 gallon (tall)? Right now I only have one. I also want to get one or two BB gobies.

A 25 gallon, and especially a 25 high, does not provide enough free-swimming & territory space for two GSPs. For that you'd be looking at 55+ gallons. What are the actual dimensions of your tank?

BBGs have never lasted long w/my GSPs. A few even seem to be "missing" in my F8 tank.

i had two in a 35G and there would be fights during feeding time... they are best of friends when food is not involved.
just moved them to a 55G over the weekend never seen them happier! no more fights durning feeding time too and they each have their own little territory set out. about half a tank each (pics to come in the pics section soon)

Generally 30 gallons each is recommended. BB gobies also won't last in the marine conditions they need eventually.

I've heard of people keeping BB gobies in with them though?

Some do keep BB Gobies with F8 puffers, perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

I've kept BBG's with a GSP after my F8 passed away but eventually had to give them away after my GSP took one of them out and the SG got too high for them.
My GSP is in a similar sized tank too and I would never consider putting another one in with him, especially at the rate he's growing and the mess he makes. Looking to upgrade to 3ft very soon.
