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.

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.
