i Need all the info you can give me on spotted puffers.. i just bought 4.. not much info on them from LFS and it was a spur of the moment purchase from hubby...otherwise i would have prepared myself... he knows a little about them but not enough too... how well do they get along with each other.. what are good tankmates.. how big do they get...? Your experience with them... thanks..

Tank mates are a no go IMHO. Remember the need hard shelled food that will keep their teeth ground down. Are they Green spotted puffers?

yep those are f-8's . are u using marine salt in your water? if so what s.g is it at.

you can keep some bumblebee gobys with them or balloon mollies. i keep both with my 2 f-8's with no problems.
