The Figure 8 Puffer (Tetraodon biocellatus) is a small, brightly colored brackish water fish named for the distinct figure-eight pattern on its body. Native to Southeast Asia, including Borneo, Sumatra, and peninsular Malaysia, this species is prized for its playful personality and unique appearance.
Key Care Points:
- Behavior: Semi-aggressive; best kept alone or in species-specific setups. May nip fins of slower-moving tankmates.
- Diet: Carnivorous; requires hard-shelled foods such as snails, shrimp/ mealworms, or clams to maintain healthy teeth. Can also eat frozen or live protein-based foods.
- Lifespan: Typically lives 8-10 years with proper care.
- Max Size: Grows up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) in captivity.
- Growth Rate: Moderate; reaches adult size within 6-12 months under optimal conditions.
The Figure 8 Puffer’s vibrant markings and curious behavior make it a fascinating choice for dedicated aquarists with brackish water experience.
