I have a GSP, he is about 4.5 in now so a 30 would be a min tank size for one. Also they do become full marine when adults so that is something you may want to think about when planning your set up. GSP's also need shells of some type to eat, they have beaks that will overgrow if they dont. Good luck with your fish!

Minimum tank size for a 6" adult GSP is 30g. They'd much prefer a 55g. Tell your parents this fish will grow the size of a Nerf football.

Needs a 30g, turn the 10 into a small planted tank or something

Definitely going to need a 29+, no tankmates. He will need increasing salinity as he matures, make sure that it is gradually done. Also, find out what salinity he currently is in. If he's in freshwater, then gradually ease him into brackish. Good luck!

Maybe you're in over your head with this fish??? Do you have a hydrometer? Marine salt? Bucket & powerhead for mixing?
