Default To the puffer experts out there...

You all know I have a very large and happy porcupine puffer named Gryphon. He is about 8" long and gets along with all my fish, that he can't fit into his mouth. No fish bothers with him, and I added a dogfaced puffer, and he pays no mind to the little fellow.

There is a member desperate to find a home for her foxface and porkie. I am adopting the foxface, but she still needs a good home for the puffer...

When I bought Gryphon he was houseed with smaller puffers just like this fellow member's. This new puffer is smaller then Gryphon by a decent chunk but is not tiny.My dogface is really little and there are no issues with bullying or chasing between him and Gryphon. I feed home made puffer chow and everybody is happy with lots of ample space and cave to hide and play in.

Is it worth trying to bring this other puffer home? Gryphon is my boy, and he eats before anybody else and I put the dogfaced puffer's food on the other side of the tank while Gryphon pigs out. I know I could provide this new guy a more then awesome home, and would love to give it a try...

Any opinions or worries. If worse came to worse I would find the perfect home for the new puffer, which the other member would have to approve. Puffers are my favorite fish, and I know I can give them what they need space and diet wise.

I Pmed the member about this, but am posting to find out if this is worth a try or not. Thanks in advance.
