I decided last night I have to get rid of my GSP, unfortunately. I really like him too. I've had him in the 75 for maybe 4 months now, he's probably tripled in size. However, tn the past month or so I've noticed my mudskipper's tail getting smaller, and showing nips. I was feeding last night and I realized she basically has no fins left, they have been nipped all the way down to her body. Her front arms/pectoral fins are nothing but little nubs...I feel so bad for her. I've also found some mangled bumblebee gobies. So, in a choie between my mudskipper and the gsp, the puffer is moving out. I really wish I had the space for another 75, because I would love to do a FOWLR for the puffer and a group of damsels and a pair of black clowns. I just don't have the resources to do it at this time (time, money, space, inclination, etc). So, the puffer will be leaving. :(
 
No, I just posted in the classifieds, but if I don't have any options by this weekend its going to a nice LFS near me. So far it has left the mollies alone, I think they are too fast for him. The problem with the mudskipper is that it perches with its head out of the water and its body right in the water, and I don't think it seems the puffer coming until its too late.
 
I guess I have been on the lucky side of GSPs. I hear thing like this and wonder are they talking about the type of fish. The only thing Samuel has ever done was to eat a cleaner shrimp or two. He has never harassed anyone else, not even the big mexi turbos or neon gobies. I think his life at Wal-mart has crushed his spirit.
