• Arothron Pufferfish are also known as Fat or Dogface Pufferfish.

• They should be added to well established large aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Puffers do "puff up" if they feel threatened.

• Plenty of rock work should be provided with caves, cracks and crevices.

• Arothron Puffers are not reef safe, they will disturb and will consume invertebrates.

• A varied diet of larger meaty foods including hard shell shrimp in order to wear down their teeth.

• Care will need to be taken when handling as Pufferfish tend to become quite alarmed, the use of a container is highly recommended.

• Pufferfish are intelligent and have a wonderful personality, they will make a great addition to large fish only aquariums.
