Golden Puffer

Arothron meleagris

Not Reef Safe

The Golden Puffer, also known as the Guineafowl Puffer, is a striking marine fish recognized for its vibrant golden-yellow body adorned with distinctive black spots and a unique, rounded shape. This pufferfish is not reef safe due to its tendency to damage corals and invertebrates with its strong beak and aggressive feeding habits. It requires a spacious, well-established aquarium with ample swimming room and hiding spots. The Golden Puffer is best suited for species-only tanks or larger predator setups and should be cared for by experienced aquarists who can meet its specific dietary and environmental needs.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
