Does anyone on here keep figure 8 puffers? Would love to see pictures of your set ups. Also would love to hear your experiences with these fish and also any care tips you feel like sharing would be great.

The only person on here i know for sure keeps F8's is PufferPunk, but not sure if she still comes around much?

You could always try sending her a PM, or looking for her on her Website...
 
I have found some of the websites reccomend keeping them in brackish water and some reccomend keeping them in freshwater which is it?

Sorry I cant be too helpful, but in terms of brackish and fresh, I have heard if you have a high pH you can do fresh but if you have a lower pH then brackish would be safest.
 
I would say keep them in light brackish if you want to keep them healthy, as freshwater will eventually kill them...
 
They are brackish puffers, I kept them for a couple years in everything from light brackish to almost full salt. they seem to like more salt as they get older. great little fish
