Figure Eight Puffer gender?

Post by fishboytk »

Does anyone know how to tell the gender of a Figure Eight Puffer?

Thanks! :)

Nope, only the puffer knows for sure. ;) Just pick a name, the puffer won't mind.

OK. I heard that as they get older, they can choose their gender. :shock:

Not at all. A few SW species change their gender but not any puffers I know of.
