Default Figure 8 Puffer

Is this true? I always thought that the F8 Puffer needed brackish water. BTW, what is the everyday behavior of them? Do they swim alot and if so, which area of the tank (surface, mid, bottom), or do they basically hide a lot?

"These species are only found in freshwater in the wild and should not be kept in brackish water. These species do best in neutral, slightly soft to medium hard water."

i'm sorry but this information is wrong. Figure 8 puffers are slightly brackish fish and Green Spotted Puffers are saltwater when adults.
here's an article on F-8
