The Blue Spot Toby Pufferfish is active and colorful. It has adapted well to my 40-gallon tank. I noticed it doesn’t eat corals, which is good for my reef setup. It’s a bit shy at first but becomes more confident over time.
Rebecca Cornish –
I’ve had this fish for three months. It’s vibrant and stays in the middle of the tank. I keep it with some soft corals and it hasn’t caused any issues. Feeding is straightforward with frozen foods.
Karen McDonald –
The fish looks nice and is active, but it does show some aggression toward smaller fish. I have to monitor tank mates closely. Still, it’s a good addition to a reef tank.
