yeah you can put a gsp with any puffer and they will stay chill with each other
porc. can sometimes be mixed with others depending on the temper of the fish lol
I wasn't saying a Porc can't go with other Puffers, they can go with any other Puffer not of similar shape. You can't put 2 Porcs together tho. Just as you can't put 2 S+S Puffers together and you'd have to be a moron to put 2 Dogface together. GSP's though you can have 2,3,4,whatever GSP's and theyll be fine.

Because most likely they will fight and you're knowingly putting them into a bad situation. Waiting until '1 gets picked on' is stupid when you know that its likely to happen and especially when '1 gets picked on' can easily be '1 gets killed or died from stress'. I say this for other people reading these forums as I know that you not only don't give 2 sh*ts about your fish but also lie about your fish's health and losses and I don't believe a single thing you say.

Yes it is common. If healthy, your Porc could have Ich and you'd never know because hed be strong enough to fight it off. You often will never notice Ich on your fish unless theres something else weakening them. It requires a 6 week quarantine and copper treatment to get rid of. I don't know if I'd consider it easy. It isn't hard, but the added stress can harm the fish. Its usually recommended to treat all new fish for ich in a QT before moving them into your main tank, thereby preventing the chance of introducing ich into your tank.

No offense intended, but it sounds like you should do alot more research before attempting any fish, this board is a great place to start, and there is several books that are must read. The more you know going in the more successful you will be, mistakes in this hobby happen quickly, take a long time to fix, and cost a huge amount of $.
Good luck
