Bro kenna GF fever welcome. My knowledge of GF keeping is not good and not accurate so dare not advice. But you being an experienced fish keeper shld not have trouble keeping GF.

Anyway depending on your entry level and depth of poison...you can keep them in a simple sponge filter set up or more towards a koi set up.

All the best!!

One main diff between keeping aro n gf is aro usually ppl keep only one per tank, whereas gf can keep many per tank. Problem happen when keep too many per tank.

Its very very hard to resist buying new gf. Every new shipment sure got one damn-nice-must-buy wan. Must resist temptation.

Remember gf eat alot, hence they poo alot too
