Sharpnose Puffer

The Sharpnose puffer is found in rubble zones or sand breaks between reefs. They are generally known as a smaller puffer and usually reach about 4-6 inches. An aquarium of at least 50 gallons would be a good habitat.  When threatened this puffer may inflate to twice its size. The puffer's diet consists of meaty foods like squid, krill and clams, but should be offered algae as they are omnivorous. Hard shell inverts help to keep their teeth filed down; keep in mind they might munch on invertebrates. The Puffer is a possible longtime companion to any aquarium with a life span of 10-15 years. 

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
