The Jewel Puffer is a striking addition to my 50-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and active without being aggressive. I’ve maintained stable water parameters and it’s adapted well to the environment. The coloration is vibrant and matches the photos closely.

It’s a beautiful fish with a unique appearance. I noticed slight variation in color between individuals, which is normal. It’s not overly active but stays in the middle of the tank, not disturbing other fish.

Easy to care for once the water conditions are set. I keep it in a 50-gallon tank with other peaceful community fish. It eats a mix of flakes and frozen foods, and seems to enjoy it.
