Hey guys are there different types of f8 puffers? I only ask as I've just been looking at pix of them and have noticed that their patterns difa. Some have the 8 pattern on their backs and others just have a different pattern. Could they be male n female or maybe just babies n adults? Here's a couple of pix to show you what I mean:-

Those are both f8s. Just different varieties. Genetics, blue eyes, Brown eyes.
The different patterns have nothing to do with age, sex or anything else.

We all look a little different too. That being said who knows how many sub species are all named the same?

The back patterns on F-8s have no significance to their scientific name. The caudal peduncle spots do, though.
