At 8", my guess is it's this species: http://www.**************.com/forum/ug.php/v/PufferPedia/Brackish/T_Sabahensis/
A pic would be good.

Yep, my ID was correct (as usual 
). Did you read the profile? How big is the tank he's in? Is it cycled? They do much better in at least low-end BW.
). Did you read the profile? How big is the tank he's in? Is it cycled? They do much better in at least low-end BW.He came from living in fresh water his entire life so i have him in fresh water now.I was going to observe him for a few days before i change anything.He seems happy and eats well.
I did read the profile but this fish is way over 6 inches and not in BW ever.The fish looks like he is very healthy.

Hence the + after the 6" in the profile. How long is it's "whole life"? They can live 15+ years, if in the proper environment. He also has a black belly which are is a sign of stress & not being happy. Do you see him with a white belly too or is it always black?
What about my other Qs?
My thread was asking for a max size and if they can live in fresh there entire life.I took the picture of him right after he went into the tank so i am sure he was stressed.Not sure on his exact age but he must be up there in age do to his size.Maybe someone else here has a 8 inch one that knows there age?Pufferpunk;4923834; said:
as far as your other questions go i have 1200 gallons of cycled water over here and i don't get into debates on "tank size" but i do have huge tanks.
My guess is he's at his max size. They reach sexual maturity at ~2 years, He's probably >4-5 years but once he's full grown, there's really no way to tell.
Does he get a white belly now that he's adjusted to the tank? We have many, long-term pufferkeepers at my forum. You may keep your puffer however you wish but I am suggesting how to keep him alive the longest: http://www.**************.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21998
