Description

The Porcupine Pufferfish has a light brown body covered with numerous thick flattened spines. Their large iridescent eyes are one of their best features.

 

Don’t let the Porcupine Puffer’s cute face fool you, the teeth and jaws on a puffer are meant for crushing hard food. Despite their cute face they are best suited in an aggressive tank. The Porupine Puffer is fast when food is present and may come out to beg when they see you.  Puffers will eat smaller fish and invertebrates in the tank.

 

Never use a net to transfer a puffer.

 

Feed a variety of meaty foods.  Pufferfish really go for squid and clams.  Train your puffer to eat Ocean Nutrition Formula One Pellets for extra nutrition.
