Blue Spotted Puffer

The Blue Spotted Puffer (Canthigaster solandri), also known as the Blue Dot Toby, is a colorful and active saltwater fish that adds personality and vibrancy to any marine aquarium. Its compact body is adorned with bright blue spots and intricate patterns, making it a visually striking addition.

Reaching a maximum size of 4 inches, the Blue Spotted Puffer requires a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. While it is generally peaceful, it may nip at invertebrates and corals, so it is best suited for fish-only or carefully monitored reef aquariums. This puffer is known for its curious nature and unique swimming style, bringing charm and activity to the tank.

The Blue Spotted Puffer thrives on a varied diet of meaty foods, such as shrimp, squid, and clams, and it benefits from occasional hard-shelled foods to help maintain its teeth. Hardy and full of personality, this species is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a standout fish with a lively demeanor.
