Midnight Pufferfish (Arothron nigropunctatus)

The Midnight Pufferfish, a color variant of the Dogface Puffer, is a bold and charismatic species known for its smooth, jet-black body and engaging personality. With its intelligent, interactive nature, this puffer quickly becomes a centerpiece in fish-only aquariums.

This species requires a spacious tank with ample swimming room and rockwork for exploration. It is not reef-safe, as it may nip at corals and invertebrates. A diet rich in hard-shelled foods like clams and crustaceans is essential to maintain proper beak health. Though generally peaceful, it may show aggression toward similarly shaped fish.

Retail Appeal:

• Striking deep-black coloration makes it a unique showpiece.
• Intelligent and interactive, often recognizing its keeper.
• Hardy and long-lived, ideal for dedicated marine aquarists.

Stock the Midnight Pufferfish to offer customers a distinctive and engaging species that brings both personality and visual impact to fish-only aquariums.
