    I am guessing a lot has to do with the blue eyes.

    The mbu's are a bit expensive, but they are well worth it. The fahakas are cheeper and dont get as large.

    I saw some figure 8 puffers at the lfs before. They all come to the glass and look like they are smiling at you. I believe you need brackish water for them when they grow and something like snails for them to gnaw on because their teeth grow all of the time.

    I would have gotten a bunch but they tend not to play nice once they mature.

    You've probably checked this site out, but just in case it might be a good resource.

    Whatever puffer you decide to get, I think you will love it. I think they are smart and have more of a personality than most any other fish.
