GSPs are actually brackish, so in reality, no it wont work.

and do best in full marine ... so nope again...

if you are thinking GSP expect 30 gal for that fish along and a fish the size of your fist when it is mature (with teeth).

Cute: yes. Smart: Yes. Big :Yes. Killer: Yes. Needed to be kept solo.

My mbu was OK with cichlids for the past 2 years but the tank was big.

Since he is now over 13 years old and 18 inches I noticed him getting picked on and to slow to defend himself. I had to remove him and actually just changed all the fish in the tank. The video of the old tank with him in is in my signsture.
