You're right. While Figure of Eight Puffers are perfectly happy in freshwater, brackish conditions are more suitable in the long term.

Thanks for clarifying! I thought I remembered reading something about them when setting up my mollies brackish tank

Yes they need brackish water. A friend of mine used to keep those puffers and wouldn't listen, the ones she bought kept dying and i'm sure it was due to the water.

The tank looks nice anyway, very fresh!
