Description
The Long Nose Puffer is a unique and fascinating fish characterized by its elongated snout and distinctive pattern of dark spots on a light brown or tan body. This species is generally peaceful and can be kept in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish. As an omnivore, it thrives on a varied diet, including meaty foods and algae. While the Long Nose Puffer can be reef-compatible, caution is advised as it may nibble on certain corals or invertebrates. A minimum tank size of 75 gallons is recommended to provide ample space for swimming and exploring.
