Figure 8 Puffer - Tetraodon biocellatus
The Figure 8 Puffer is one of the most active puffers in the hobby. This brackish water fish doesn't get too big (max size is about 3 inches).
Their puppy-like antics makes them desirable. But caution needs to be taken for tank mates as they can get quite aggressive.
Size is about 1.5 inches.

Figure 8 Puffer
My fish came in being pretty active and looking generally healthy. The body is around an inch and a half long, wasn't emaciated as I was concerned that it would be. I would definitely order from Pet Zone again!

Figure 8 puffer
Two of the three puffers arrived healthy and in good shape. One had fin damage, and I'm not sure if it will make it. Customer service said the fish were kept at 1.008 salinity, but when I treated the bags they arrived in it was 1.001. on the bright side each fish was shipped in it's own bag and the healthy ones are super active.

Everything I Hoped For
First, it is very difficult to not only find these Figure 8s in stock at most places, but its even more difficult to find them in existing brackish conditions. Despite them being brackish fish, most stores keep them in fresh water which was very frustrating to me as I already have a brackish tank. THEN, I found PetZone. I emailed them with questions about the salt levels in their holding tanks and I received prompt and friendly responses answering all my questions. Shipping was quick and well done; nicely packed with a warmer in an insulated box, and it shipped Monday and was to my door by 1:30PM the next day. They are active, colorful, adorable and incredibly healthy. Everything I wanted! Thank you so much PetZone for answering your customer's questions, you gave me the confidence to purchase these knowing they're coming from a good home! Will definitely order more from them.

2 Figure 8 Puffers
Puffers arrived alive and somewhat well. They were shipped in the same small bag so they had fin damage from nipping at each other. Once acclimated in a large tank, they stopped. If ordering, I would request they be sent in separate bags.
