Then would the notoriously liquidy sorry-poopies diffuse into the water like a squid’s ink cloud?

Perhaps their poop is like goldfish poop and sometimes stays attached to their buttholes in a long string?

Aquafluffies, my headcanon’s seafluffies, are amphibious, because they were created for the Hydroxians, a race of amphibious aliens who really wanted fluffies, but knew that regular fluffies would drown in their homes. Hydroxians can live on dry land, but they still need to immerse themselves in water frequently. Their cities have a lot of water features, and their houses have baths in every room.
So aquafluffies can just get out of the water to poop. Like Hydroxians, they need to get some dip on a regular basis, but they don’t need to spend all of their time in the water.
Mentally speaking, they’re still fluffies, so they need the same amount of stimulation a regular fluffy needs.
As for food, they’re just as omnivorous as regular fluffies, they can eat regular kibble, though they have a preference for seafood, and there’s now fish flavored kibble for seafluffies. I’ve covered some of this already in “Little Hydrox”, and I’ll probably be covering more in a later story, because I love the idea of nonhumans owning fluffies.

My head canon is that they’re invasive possum sized mammals rather than cuddly aquarium pets. Those would be micro sea fluffies (aquafluffies). You could use them for aquaculture, but there are so many better options.
Don’t let that discourage you from writing your own interpretation. Sea fluffies aren’t as firmly established as other species, so innovate away.

Usually they are depicted as eating water plants like kelp and only rarely eat fish, at least in most stories.
In some of the older material they don’t like spaghetti like normal fluffies but rather their equivalent is squid, which they call “squiddies”

Like a real life goldfish. Nature’s moronic assholes.

That’s what I was thinking, too! Can you imagine sea fluffies vying for food versus giant catfish? shudders

That is horrifically cute

So like this but with an enclosed play area and protection for the lettuce. The poop gets filtered to feed the plants while the seafluffies get to play with small caves with light-up paint inside to keep them from being too scared of the dark.

That’s really smart 
tbh I didn’t even factor in how Sea-Fluffs would be scared of the dark, just like normal fluffs.

In my headcanon, there’s a few different kinds of fluffies commonly called “seafluffies” or “aquafluffies”.
One is formally called a fishfluffy and it’s exactly what it says on the tin; a fish-like, water-breathing fluffy.
These would die in minutes if out of the water.
There are a few different variants tailored after different types of fish, but since they’re still fluffies, none of them are carnivorous even if the animal they’re based off of is.
Most fishfluffies are based off of goldfish, koi, or livebearers (guppies, mollies, platies, etc.). Those based off of livebearers are the same size as microfluffies, earning them the nickname “aquamicros”.
One notable variant of fishfluffy is based off of seahorses, and is usually just called a seafluffy. These are notable in that the stallions, not the mares, are the ones that give birth.
The non-fish seafluffies are all more mammalian.
The first two types are very closely related, being based off of manatees and dugongs respectively.
These types can sometimes pull themselves up onto land, but not very far, and only do so if they spot food (especially spaghetti, of course).
Being fluffies, they get beached much more often than the animals they resemble, leading to a slow and painful death for the fluffy due to either dehydration, overheating, or even being crushed by its own weight (NOTE: They’re heavy compared to normal fluffies, but they’re still not heavy or strong enough to harm humans or other animals).
Both types also have their mammary glands underneath their front flippers just like the animals they’re based on do. Naturally, the slang term for these fluffies’ mammaries is “pit-tits”.
The third type is the merfluffy, a seafluffy based on the mythical hippokampos creature. This type has the front half of a normal fluffy with the back half of a fishfluffy.
Like mammalian seafluffies, merfluffies breathe air. But due to their fish-like tails, merfluffies are in danger of drying out if they spend too long out of the water.
