Received the Midnight Snow Dogface pufferfish in good condition. It’s active and shows interest in the tank environment. Tank is 80 gallons, which meets the minimum size requirement. Needs some hiding spots, but overall healthy and calm in its space.

The fish arrived quickly and looks well-packaged. It’s not aggressive, but does defend its space when approached. I’ve added some rock structures to help with its behavior. Works well in a mid-sized community tank with compatible species.

Great addition to my 75-gallon tank. It’s active and curious, and has adapted well to the environment. I monitor its feeding and water parameters closely due to its intermediate care level.
