Re: cylon f8 mix?
Are you saying these were half Ceylon puffers and half Figure 8 puffers?
I've got 2 that everyone says are GSP's, but they have an odd look to them, making me wonder if they aren't some different strain.

Re: cylon f8 mix?
Ceylon's grow pretty large (~8") compared to F8 puffers (~3") and also require greater salinity later on in their lives; I've received advice in the past myself that it is best keeping these species separate. How LFS stock/store fish should never factor in to the equation (they work on a short-term, pre-sale, save space approach).

Re: cylon f8 mix?
Many Ceylons have an 8 shape on their back. Biocellatus means, "twin-spot". This refers to the 2 eyespots on their sides, near the back of the tail of a F8.
