The Story
The Figure 8 Puffer is a small, entertaining fish native to Southeast Asia that has dark brown to green backs with yellow spots and lines, and a white underside. It is named for the distinctive markings, which can resemble a figure 8, especially on the tail. These curious and intelligent fish require a brackish water environment with hard-shelled food to wear down their continuously growing teeth and can be prone to fin-nipping, though generally less aggressive than other puffers.
