are there different types of f8 puffers?
Hey guys are there different types of f8 puffers? I only ask as I've just been looking at pix of them and have noticed that their patterns difa. Some have the 8 pattern on their backs and others just have a different pattern. Could they be male n female or maybe just babies n adults? Here's a couple of pix to show you what I mean:-
They're not ceylons btwYou do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Those are both f8s. Just different varieties. Genetics, blue eyes, Brown eyes.Arny wrote:Hey guys are there different types of f8 puffers?

The different patterns have nothing to do with age, sex or anything else.

We all look a little different too. That being said who knows how many sub species are all named the same?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

The back patterns on F-8s have no significance to their scientific name. The caudal peduncle spots do, though.
