Also known as the leopard puffer, Dichotomyctere nigroviridis is a curious, intelligent brackish-water puffer with big personality and striking neon-green spotting. Juveniles thrive in low–mid brackish conditions and typically transition to higher salinity as they mature. This species is best kept in a spacious, well-filtered, species-only setup with plenty of hardscape to explore. Not reef-safe and generally unsuitable for community tanks due to nippy, territorial behavior. Provide a meaty, varied diet with hard-shelled foods (snails, crustaceans) to help keep the beak naturally worn. Our expert-raised puffers are conditioned on quality foods and carefully quarantined for robust health. Perfect for aquarists looking for an interactive show fish with loads of character.
