Bennett's Sharpnose Pufferfish
The Bennett's Sharpnose Puffer is littered with red, orange, yellow and white spots, with markings around their eyes and a black spot by its dorsal fin. They are unique in how they move; unlike other fish this puffer will use its pectoral fins to move forward and backwards. Their scaleless body makes them sensitive to parameter changes. Puffers will inflate their body when threatened, so to prevent this try using a container when transferring the fish instead of a net. Like all puffers, the Bennett's Sharpnose is not reef safe because they will nip at corals and all invertebrates, as well as tank mates that are slow or have very long fins. To reduce aggression, provide plenty of hiding places and keep the puffer well fed. Since they have sharp beaklike teeth, provide a diet with shelled items and meaty food to help prevent the beak from getting overgrown. Their small adult size of about 4" makes them ideal for smaller aquariums.
