GreenSpottedPuffer is an unknown quantity at this point

I would be very careful...my Snowflake Eel bites my Stars and Stripes Puffer all the time during feeding. My puffer is about 7 inches and VERY thick, so he barely even feels it but I would worry with a little puffer that the Eel could eat him. A friend of mine had his Eel eat a 7 inch Lionfish last year...The Eel was only about 2.5 feet long! He had a huge bulge just below the head where the Lion was! Crazy that a relatively small eel could eat a decent sized Lion.

What size is your Green Spotted Puffer? They are actually brackish fish. Most owners of GSP's start their fish off at low end brackish then move their way up to full marine as the puffer grows. http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/..._Nigroviridis/
Take a look at the above link.

I would be very careful as well. Snowflakes have very poor sight and when feeding mine has taken a hold of my sharpnose puffer and taken him right down to the bottom of the tank. They aren't being aggressive they are just in a frenzy when they eat.
