Ok, i love GSPs, i used to have one for a few years, but it did a while ago. i would like to keep one again. The problem is i dont know if one will get along with my 2 ocellaris clowns or my blue damsel. would a GSP eat them or leave them alone?
 
my expierience with puffers is that they can be great for a while and then WHAM kill something twice or even three times their size!

my 1 inch Figure 8 killed a 5 inch dragon goby, a 3 inch albino channel cat, a 4 inch blue channel cat, a 2 inch flounder, and countless crustaceans.
 
75 gallons, and he is going after the next cat I bought today
 
in my experience you can mix the fish with out problem. i have had three GSP ( now around 3 inches long)for over a year with multiple tank mates in a 33 Gal long. the puffers have never eaten a tank mate. i have a gold fish in there( a feeder whose life i spared) and his fins have round nibble marks every once in a while, but the fins are still around 3 inches long and they have lived together for over 6 months.

the tank is brackish and the tank mates have ranged from mollies, platties,angelfish, to texas cichlids, arowana, paradise fish,....ect
 
Wow, nice puffers :drool:

I miss my puffer :(

a pic of when he was still alive:
