Porcupine puffers (diodon holocanthus) adapt better to living in a tank and are much hardier than the spiny box puffers (chilomycterus schoepfi).
If you are adding the puffer to the acrylic tank you have listed in your profile - be prepared to have a scratch or two added over the years from the puffer's teeth. |
