Fish Supplies

The Porcupine Puffer from the Caribbean has spiny thorns and can inflate its body making this fish very interesting to watch. If threatened, it can inflate its body to double its size. Some owners are tempted to cause this reaction because it looks cool, but it’s actually dangerous for the fish to do frequently so it should not be provoked to do so. Regular feeding of krill, squid, clams, and teeth filing hard-shell shrimp is suggested to help keep the puffer's teeth groomed.
