The Arothron immaculatus, commonly known as the medium pufferfish, is a fascinating addition to a marine aquarium. Recognised for its unique pattern and robust body, this species offers an engaging display for experienced hobbyists.
Temperament and Compatibility: Generally curious but can be territorial, especially towards smaller or slow-moving tankmates. Best kept with similarly sized or larger fish to avoid aggression. Not reef safe due to potential predation on invertebrates.
Diet: Omnivorous, requiring a varied diet including meaty foods such as molluscs, crustaceans, and prepared marine fish foods. Regular feeding of hard-shelled prey helps maintain beak health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 150 litres is recommended to provide ample swimming space and reduce territorial behaviour. Stable water parameters and good filtration are essential.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced due to specific dietary needs and temperament.
