Puffer fish photo album
| HOME | LIVE STOCK |
Puffer fish are so named by their ability to inflate themselves by drawing in water when alarmed. They have beak- like front teeth capable of removing a portion of flesh from unsuspecting tank mates, best not kept with specimens such as blue spotted sting rays for this reason.
