Description

The Blue Spot Puffer, *Canthigaster solandri*, is a charming and active addition to a marine aquarium. Its body is a light tan to brown color, adorned with numerous bright blue spots that cover its head, body, and fins. A distinctive blue line runs from the eye towards the mouth.

A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for a single Blue Spot Puffer. Provide plenty of live rock with caves and crevices for hiding and exploring. While generally peaceful towards tankmates, they can be aggressive towards other puffers and similar-shaped fish. They are not considered reef safe as they will nip at corals, invertebrates, and crustaceans.

The Blue Spot Puffer is a carnivore and requires a varied diet. Offer a mix of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, krill, and chopped seafood. Hard-shelled foods like snails and hermit crabs are also beneficial for helping to wear down their continuously growing teeth. They can reach a size of approximately 4 inches in the aquarium.
