Description: The porcupine puffer has spiny appendages covering most of its body which varies from shades of tan to a golden color with darker sports. They have a strong beak-like mouth to help them eat tough meaty foods and crustaceans including krill, shelled shrimp, as well as squid and clams. Hard shelled foods should be fed 2-3 times a week to help grind down their ever-growing teeth. This fish can be nippy towards other fish, but usually has a great personality and learns who feeds it. DO NOT purposefully make this fish "blow up" as it stresses them out.
