Arothron immaculatus, commonly known as the Immaculate puffer, is a beautiful medium-sized pufferfish, which can also be found in brackish waters. They’ve a white to cream-white base colour with a black spot around the base of the pectoral fins and dorsal fin and the eyes. The mouth is usually a little yellowish. The caudal fin is yellow as well, with a black rim. When stressed or at night they quickly change to a camouflaging mottled pattern.
Pufferfishes are very intelligent fish and will quickly learn to recognize you and your behaviour. Their intelligence and behaviour make you soon treat these animals more like a dog than a fish. Combined with the unusual shape, they make up a showpiece in every tank!
Remember they aren’t reef safe though! They feed on almost anything they can catch, like crab, molluscs, worms, echinoderms, sponges, tunicates, all kinds of algae from coralline to fleshy and corals. It can be aggressive towards other fish, so make sure you pick the other fishes with care!
