Black Dogface Pufffer

Arthron nigropunctatus

Not Reef Safe

The Black Dogface Puffer, also known as the Blackspotted Pufferfish, is a striking marine species characterized by its deep black body with a distinctive array of white spots and a broad, rounded shape. This pufferfish is not reef safe due to its tendency to damage corals and invertebrates with its strong beak and aggressive feeding behavior. It requires a spacious, well-established aquarium with ample swimming room and hiding spots. Best suited for species-only tanks or large predator setups, the Black Dogface Puffer is ideal for experienced aquarists who can cater to its specific dietary and environmental needs.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
