SRC Member solasido Posted May 23, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted May 23, 2015 Keep feeding the GSP (green spotted puffer) with shrimp, clams and small crabs. They really like it. I used to keep until they jumped out of tank and died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
