Re: puffer fry...
I'd say freshwater, as they seem to spawn in freshwater, and gradually (as the fry grow up) move to brackish water.

Re: puffer fry...
They have not been known to ever spawn sucessfully in captivity, so I don't think you need to worry.

Re: puffer fry...
WOW. hope it is. One of the first recorded breedins of fig 8 in history if it is. Some pictures would do great.
You need some brine shrimp newborns to get those fry to eat. If those frys are in brackish condition when they are born, try to maintain th water parameter / lowering SG just a lil. Normally first batch of fry would nt see 100% survival rates.
Man, I think we should dig you up for all the details in your setup and all your fig 8's pics for scrutinization for even the slightest slightest diff.

What kind of cat? Chances are it will definitely outgrow that tank.
