This Dogface Puffer is an approximately 5-inch specimen of Arothron nigropunctatus, a distinctive marine puffer recognized for its rounded body, expressive face, and bold dark markings around the eyes and mouth. Its coloration and patterning can vary, giving each fish its own character.
An engaging, intelligent presence in a suitably spacious aquarium, this puffer is best kept by aquarists prepared for its semi-aggressive temperament and specialized care. It is not reef compatible and may nip at or consume invertebrates, so a fish-focused setup is generally the better fit. Allow room for its growth toward a mature size of up to 13 inches, with a minimum tank size of 75 gallons.
