Spotted green puffer?

[Chasnkevin4ever]

Hey everyone I am thinking about getting me a spotted green puffer, can anyone give me any info on them? I read they r bw fish, can they eventually be pure salt or have to stay brackish? What do they eat? Water levels? Hiding spaces? Etc. Thanks for ur help!

Thanks!

Got a question, could I put the spotted green puffer with my moray eels?

Hmm, that's risky. The eel might gobble the puffer right up. If I were you, I wouldnt do it.

Okay thanks!

Yeah, I wouldn't do it either. Puffers are really bad community dwellers in most cases IMO. They are territorial and aggressive.

Gsp require very specific care since they need so many hard foods like snails to keep their teeth from overgrowing.
