Quick Stats

Description

The Sapo Puffer, also known as the Dogface Puffer, is a striking fish characterized by its deep black body adorned with small, white spots, creating a starry-night effect. This puffer is known for its curious and interactive personality, often recognizing and responding to its keeper. With a carnivorous diet, the Sapo Puffer requires a variety of meaty foods, including crustaceans and mollusks, to keep its beak-like teeth from overgrowing. While captivating to watch, this species is not reef-safe due to its tendency to nip at invertebrates and corals. The Sapo Puffer demands a spacious aquarium, ideally 125 gallons or more, with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. Its unique appearance and engaging behavior make it a standout addition for experienced aquarists.
