The Blackspotted Dogface Puffer is very intelligent and has been known to recognize its feeder and perform small tricks. Be aware that this fish can be semi aggressive and is known to nip on tank mates' fins. When choosing tank mates be sure to pick other semi aggressive fish that can stand up to the puffer. Aggression can be amplified in smaller tanks. The Blackspotted Dogface Puffer is not considered reef safe since they prefer to snack on sessile invertebrates. For continued health provide a varied diet of meaty foods multiple times a day. Since they have teeth, the Blackspotted Dogface needs to be fed foods with a shell to keep them from overgrowing. The Blackspotted Dogface Puffer lacks pelvic fins and mostly depends on their pectoral fins to move around. They will grow to be about a foot in size full grown adults will need around 150 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. This puffer is tannish gray with yellow fins and black spots.
