New figure 8 looks wierd?

[alex101]

I just picked up a second figure 8 FINALLY!!! and its a little bigger but it looks kind of wierd. It kind of looks like the back part of its body was pinched. Didn't know if anyone has seen this before but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a sign of a parasite or malnutrition. My other figure 8 has a little pregnant belly so I'm just using him as a comparison.

I bought him with his own batch of 10 ghost shrimp and then I put some plankton and bloodworms in. He should be happy as a pig in ****

Nice fig. 8 puffer. Anyone know if they do alright in groups?

In a big enough tank with lots of distractions. Some puffers are meaner than others. It all depends on their personality not the species. I have 2 in a 75 and they are well behabed most of the time.
