Bought this pufferfish for my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, and hasn’t shown aggression toward other fish. Adjusted water parameters slightly to match its needs. Very happy with the purchase.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. It’s not overly aggressive, but does need a larger tank. I’m keeping it with peaceful species and it’s doing well.
