Hi all i am taking your advice and not getting anymore fish. I like the brackishwater ecosystem that I have now. There was one more fish that i purchased today that took the place of the FW fish that i returned. It is a Figure 8 puffer, and he is rather large. He is 6 inches long. He is double the size of my other puffers. So now I have a ruby Scat , two GSP, one F8P, a moreay eel, and some feeder gupies swimming around. My new F8P is doing fine so far and the other GSP's are rather mild toward it. They however are very mild toward each other and my other fish. They have not even bitten or gone after any of the other fish since i bought them two months ago. I think I have bought the nicest GSP's around, or mabye it is because I feed them on a routine and they do not have to compete for food. IS there anyone out there that has mild behaving puffers like me?

I'm curious about the 6" Figure 8 puffer, as none has ever been found larger than 6 cm standard length. Perhaps you have a Ceylon puffer?
