The Dogface Puffer is a distinctive marine fish, recognized by its rounded body, expressive face, and dark markings that give the species its name. At approximately 6.5 inches, this XXL specimen offers an impressive presence in a suitably spacious, established aquarium.

Provide plenty of open swimming room alongside sturdy rockwork and hiding places. Dogface Puffers are not reef compatible and may nip at or eat invertebrates, so choose tankmates carefully; their semi-aggressive disposition makes peaceful, easily intimidated fish a poor match. Offer a varied meaty diet that includes hard-shelled foods to help wear down the puffer’s continuously growing teeth, and maintain stable, high-quality marine water conditions.
