Received the Midnight Snow Dogface pufferfish in good condition. It’s active and curious in a 75-gallon tank. I’ve had to keep it separate from smaller fish due to its semi-aggressive nature. The coloration is striking and it’s a unique addition to my tank.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. I made sure to provide plenty of hiding spots and a stable environment. It’s not aggressive but does chase smaller fish occasionally. A good choice for intermediate reef tanks.

It’s a rare species and looks beautiful. I’m cautious about its behavior and keep it in a well-maintained tank with larger fish. It hasn’t shown signs of aggression yet, but I monitor closely.
