The pufferfish is active and colorful. It has adapted well to our 30-gallon tank. We’ve added some larger, peaceful fish, and it hasn’t shown aggression. Good for intermediate reef keepers.
Ian Quinn –
It’s a striking fish with vibrant orange coloring. We’ve observed it eating small crustaceans and cleaning the tank. Needs a bit of space and stable water conditions.
Jennifer McDonald –
It’s not as aggressive as expected, but it does chase smaller fish occasionally. We’re monitoring closely and have increased the tank size to 40 gallons for better stability.
