Definitely not a puffer fry. Possible a molly? What other fish have you kept in that tank?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Hey
It looks like guppy fry.
Do you feed your f8 live fish?
Have you bought any new plants it may have hitchhiked on?

Re: Figure 8 puffer fry?!
I do have mollies in the tank but they (I have 2) don't seem to act like a Molly at all and it have a distinctive white belly...
They act like puffers...
How can you be so certain as I can't find a single picture of puffer 8 fry...

There IS a dorsal fin. Awfully skinny, what are you feeding it?

Re: Figure 8 puffer fry?!
Did you say youve put them in their own tank? If you havent got another tank buy a breeder net. Keep us updated with news and pix please. Im really curious to see what they grownup into.
Re: Figure 8 puffer fry?!
Yeah it's got it's own heated tank. I will keep you updated.
If it survives. It's eating and swimming a lot more now
