The Porcupine 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 Porcupine Puffer is not considered reef safe since they prefer to snack on sessile invertebrates. This colorful fish will inflate its body when threatened, so to prevent this from happening try using a container when transferring the fish instead of the net to avoid them from ingesting air. They will grow to be about 12" in size full grown adults will need around 180 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. This puffer is tan with brown markings and black spots.

  • Needs semi-aggressive tank mates
  • Approximate selling size: Small 2.25-3.25"; Medium 3.25-4.25"
  • For continued health, provide a varied diet of meaty foods, such as chopped seafood, multiple times a day
  • Should be fed foods with a shell to wear down their teeth
  • Add to an aquarium with ample swimming room
  • Not reef safe
