Guineafowl Puffer Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Guineafowl Puffer in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust, and aggressive tank mates that can withstand its nipping behavior. Not suitable for reef tanks as it will consume corals and invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with ample swimming space and plenty of rockwork for hiding. Excellent filtration is essential due to its messy eating habits. Needs a varied diet of meaty foods to maintain health and prevent aggression. Teeth grow continuously and require hard-shelled foods (e.g., crabs, snails) to wear them down.
