Well iv sucessfully completed my marine tank collection and amazingly its a tight knit group of friends, everyone plays with everyone..and food battles are non existant. Im VERY happy with my current tank which includes: George (GSP), Snoop (dog faced), Einstein (Sharpnose white spotted), and Porky (porcupine). I was curious to see if this community would work and everyone is lovin it.
 
sounds awesome any pics
 
Heres a few from this morning, you can see them playing around in a few action shots =) Porky likes to cruise around with George and Snoop doing the tilted "whats up???" look haha

sweeeeeeet nice fish
 
and no one will attack eachother eventually? isnt that what they say about puffers and keeping them with other fish, especially other puffers? good luck, and i guess only time will tell

Considering iv had them for 5 months now without a single incident....yeah id say its worked out just perfect. Im sure you couldnt pull this off in certian cases, due to the differences in temperments in different fish, These fish however are all very mellow calm and non territorial. :woot:
 
thats good no territorial behavior is happening. my two GSP, i have had together for about 3 or 4 months and just recently the larger one of the two seems to like chasing the slightly smaller one. he just started doing this like a week or two ago. if the smaller GSP gets in his line of sight he will chase it, when hes hungry i guess. it seems like when he fattens up after feeding he doesnt chase him anymore. maybe once in a while but not nearly like he does when its close to feeding time. good luck. hopefully everything stays fine in that tank. my concern with them in there together is from what i heard the porcupines are VERY aggressive, maybe not at first but eventually it gets intolerant of his tankmates as he gets bigger. same with the GSP whether they show aggressiveness from day 1 or not. i mean puffers have individual personalities and you cant tell what one fish is going to do from watching another, some may get that aggressive and some may not.
 
^yep i agree 100%

I spend a lot of time watching my tank, a lot =) im freeing up another tank same size as soon as i can get rid of my RBPS which need to go, ill have myself a second reef tank if i need to seperate anyone from the pack but it has looked very very good from the time iv spent observing
 
congrats on you set up..looks really nice
