Re: Crayfish fighting or breeding?
Sounds like they are trying to breed. Do you know the sex of each one?
The red one will eventually grow larger than the blue one, so you may have difficulties keeping them together. They are most vulnerable right after molting.

Re: Puffer id
Tough to get a good picture of this one. It’s always moving, and doesn’t like my phone in its face. Although it will eat out of my hand. These pics might be a little better.

Re: Puffer id
The 8 is actually not how they are identified. The eyespot by the tail is the ID point, hence the name biocellatus, or "twinspot" puffer. I didn’t know GSP’s could have such big blotches on top? I've never seen them on the GSP's sold at a local garden centre (off course sold as pure ‘fres...

Hello
Just joined this forum!
I’ve got a brackish tank going with two figure eight puffers and some other fishes. Looking forward to reading more on the site.
