Figure 8 Puffer Tetraodon biocellatus

Figure 8 Puffers bear a bright gold 'Figure Eight' pattern on their backs against a metallic green background, offset by a bright white belly. Growing to only about half the size (about 3") of the popular Green Spotted Puffers, these fish will be comfortably housed in much smaller aquaria. As pugnacious as all puffers, this fish is still known to be a fin-nipper, so take great care in choosing potential tankmates. These puffers require alkaline, brackish water to really thrive, but will become personable and delightful pets given the right conditions.
