Keeping White Spot Puffer in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: semi-aggressive
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 20 gallons
  • Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other brackish water fish of similar size and temperament that can tolerate the salinity. Avoid keeping with slow-moving, long-finned, or very small fish, as they may be nipped.
  • Special requirements: Requires brackish water (specific gravity 1.005-1.010). A varied diet of hard-shelled foods (snails, mussels, shrimp) is crucial for dental health. Excellent filtration and regular water changes are essential due to their messy eating habits. Provide plenty of hiding spots and visual barriers with plants and decor.
