The Spotted Sharpnose Puffer is brown with a white belly, white spots all over their body, and their eyes are bright green and red. 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. The Spotted 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 3" makes them ideal for smaller aquariums. Their longer snout also allows them to get into crevices for food.

  • Minimum tank size: 50 gallons
  • Approximate selling size: Small <2"; Medium 2"-3"
  • Not reef safe
  • Needs semi-aggressive tank mates
  • Add to an aquarium with ample hiding places
  • 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
