Green Spotted Puffer (Tetraodon) PUFFED OFF!!!

Aug 1 2010. I brought this puffer home today. I have placed him temporarily in a 2.5 gal. tank. I will be placing him in a 10 gallon and keep him secluded as he is a very aggressive breed. I will be introducing him to a fresh water setup and slowly raising the salinity .002 per week until I achieve a level of about .008. This is to help with growth, maintain good health, and influence color development. Plus this will enable him to live longer.

ok first of all no need for the language esp when ur have your species mixed up. Put the pipe down for a second and take notice that this is a FW hybrid, NOT the brackish cousin. This one only gets 2.5 inches in size. in a 10 gallon, he has exactly 7.5 gals of water in excess to what he requires which is 2.5.. I like to go atleast dbl what is recommended. Perhaps it is YOU who should have researched this species before making a stupid comment. Noob.

what the fuck is with you people thinking you can throw a GSP in a 10 gallon tank. DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PURCHASE A FUCKING PET YOU IGNORANT FUCK. I wish I could throw you in a 5x5 cell and watch you all day

@borgey420 The top message "ok first of al..." is directed to you. Puff Puff QUIT!!!! you're burnt son.

20-30 gallons

@stickerz232 Actually, this species only requires a 2.5 gallong tank. This is not the Brackish GSP which get's up to 8 inches in some cases. These two species look alike except the FW variant has duller colors and is non aggressive. Infact he was punked down by my gurami.

haha hes not puffed up just full after eating. 30gal is the minimum for this fish. I highly recommend taking him to higher than 1.008 I keep mine in full saltwater and wat a differnce in color and behavior. Try wwwDOTthepufferfourmDOTcom for species info and care. Its a trustworthy group of puffer keepers who want to help disperse the beliefs that the LFS imposes. He will need a larger tank than 10g or he will surely be stunted and die.
