puff4ever · 05-08-2005, 07:01 PM

Hey! I have a new 29 gallon tank.

i put in 1/3 pure salt water and 2/3 fresh. now i need to know, which would be better, a few GSP's or Fig 8 puffers

i plan to have some bumble bee gobies and wrestling halfbeaks. the decorations include rocks and some other cork pieces weighted down.

thanks y'all :P

i used to have f8's they stay small however GSPs get bigger
i would go with the f8's because the gobies will soon become an after dinner snack for the GSPs
you will want to have soft decorations near the walls so the halfbeaks dont crash and hurt there extended mouth.
just wondering.........did you read about the brackish stuff in an issue of Aquarium Fish Magazine? (i saw one similar to the setup you described in that magazine about 4-5 months ago)
