If you have a small tank (anything less than 55g), then get the figure 8. Anything bigger, then you could consider a group of amazon puffer.
Kind regards,

Keep in mind, the SAP will need routine dentistry. They are also difficult to find, especially 4-5 of them, as they prefer to lice in a group. The F8 may not. But the F8 is a BW fish & the SAP is FW, so that's something else to consider. How large is the tank?

Welcome to the forum, I would love a group of saps, but they are hard to find and the regular dentistry puts me off. I have been after a f8 for a while, they are like puppy dog fish lol. But they are brackish so you would have to consider that should you choose one.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
