...but there are too many irons in the fire, and I have become so tired of this fighting... a hero only to the long suffering and silent (except for the loaches)pet fish I roam in search of aquarium villainy...
figure 8 puffers can live in freshwater, brackish, or full marine.
so can most fish. they wouldnt live very long.
a figure 8 puffer will have worse colors, be susceptible to disease, and have a shorter lifespan in freshwater. you cant argue against that.
besides, why do you want to have aggressive fish for a tank that small? i would consider a community tank or really anything else.

hes no aggresive or atleats i didint see.....where i bought him (walmart) they feed all the fish flake only. and puffers dont eat flake. all of the puffers there have no fins at all. all eaten away. i cant give him back!
AGAIN, the puffer will only thrive in brackish/marine and will eat its tankmates.
AGAIN, the bass is a COLD WATER fish and WILL NOT do well in a warm tank.
AGAIN, the bass will eat the rest of its tankmates.
Please don't post and ask for advice when you have no intention of listening to those giving it.
Your best options for an aggressive tank that size would be some african cichlids or even some smaller south american cichlids. Give up on the balas, the puffer, and the bass.
Let's leave it at that and not create another 7 page thread.

It's a hex tank??!! That makes the situation even worse! You really should do some more reasearch and find better inhabitants for that tank. With a hex like that, you are really limited on what will do well in that setup.
Look at my other post. Set up a tank just for him, or make that tank into a brackish, get a couple more puffers and move the other fish out, rehoming the ones that you can't provide quarters for. But probably cichlids or angels would be better suited for that tank. We're only trying to help you, and your fish, from a troubled future.ryanhayes9 said:

No can do Mary, now that this fish has been exposed to an aquarium habitat it cannot be re-released into the wild without risking the ecosystem into which it is released (introduction of disease). If a separate tank cannot be set up for the fish it would have to be destroyed. Reintroducing the fish into the wild would be illegal in most areas as well.
