SOrry to say that you can't sex them, even as adults it's impossible to tell figure 8's apart. Before you buy your puffer, here's some excellent information on puffers and near the bottom of the page, information specific to figure 8 puffers. You might want to give this a good read, as well as a few of the linked pages at the top of this one before you jump into the world of puffer keeping, thay are not a beginners fish!

Answer 3

I looked at about 5 sites and I can't find that there is any sexual dimorphism in figure 8's... in other words, there is no way to tell the difference visually... sorry.
