The pufferfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 200-gallon tank. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate size description. It’s a striking addition to the reef setup.
Hannah Turner –
It’s a bold fish with a unique appearance. I’ve noticed it patrols the edges and occasionally interacts with other fish. Needs a spacious tank, but it’s manageable with proper setup.
Mary Anderson –
The fish is active and colorful. I expected more aggression, but it’s mostly calm. Still, it’s important to monitor its behavior around smaller fish in the tank.
