The Central American Sharpnose Puffer is also known as the Spotted Sharpnose Puffer. Members of the Canthigaster Genus are referred to as Sharp-nosed Puffers or Tobies. It's a brownish yellow that has white spots. It does not have pelvic fins however, it has learned to use pectoral fins to move around the aquarium. A 50-gallon or bigger fish-only aquarium is ideal. It is possible to eat invertebrates within a reef tank. The teeth of this fish actually form the result of a fused beak that can be used to crush prey. The flesh is harmful. It has the capability in the event of being threatened or scared to expand the body up to nearly double the size it is normally. It is frightened when it is in a net, so, you should use containers to transport it. Central America's Sharpnose Puffer requires an extensive diet of meaty meals, such as the squid, the krill, clams, and hard-shelled shrimp, to reduce the size of their expanding teeth. Approximate Size of Purchase: Small: 1-1/4" to 2-1/4", Small/Medium: 2-1/4" to 3", Medium: 3" to 3-1/2"
