Green spotted puffer species tank?

[Jag586]

Can you keep multiple green spotted puffers together? I used to have 4-5 of them in a 40 gallon but only for a cpl months. So could I keep them together long term?

I think you can keep a maximum of 3 in a 40 gallon. Because my friend has some and I asked him,"why do you only have 3." He said it's because they are very aggressive and he also said he's pushing it with 3 of em.

While GSP's are very slow growers, just imagine them growing to the size of a small nerf ball when fully mature and you should be able to approximate how much space you need...

Why's she a she lol? Just trying to hear your theory. I believe I have a male due to facial structure but fahakas make things difficult.

Btw sorry for stealing the thread!
