Discus dave.
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.
Its funny I have been looking at the MBU puffers thanks to Nick I would much rather stay with Fresh water its what I'm use to and shouldn't be a big leap for me like salt would be.....Josie
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.

We'll Josie, did you take the plunge and get the puffer?
