Here are a few new pictures of my mono sebaes and GSP. Both have grown quite a bit since the last pictures, especially the GSP. Last picture of the GSP, he had torn up fins and was tiny. He's doing much better now. Hope yall enjoy...
This is my experience as well, and certainly when I came across a small tank filled with dozens of specimens in freshwater, the problem wasn't lack of salt but nipping. Took one back to the university and it settled into a brackish tank very well. There are other species of Arothron that are much nastier towards others of their species, but even these (A. immaculatus and A. reticularis) are said by Ebert to exhibit no aggression towards *other* species of puffer, just their own."Because they are cramped in holding tanks [without food] ... fins have been eaten down to bloody stumps ... it is astonishing how quickly the fins regenerate when kept singly. Once recovered they behave peacefully towards [tankmates] and exhibit hardly any intraspecific aggression. Fin biting as good as never occurs in well-fed specimens."
Neale, you think a GSP and stars and stripes might get along in a 75g? I was just kind of assuming I'd need to get rid of the GSP, if for any other reason, space concerns. If you think it might work, I'd certainly be willing to try it and keep an eye on it.
