Common name: Pufferfish

Arothron is a genus of pufferfish commonly found in warm seas and popular in the aquarium trade. These fish are known for their unique ability to inflate their bodies as a defense mechanism. They have a distinctive, often rounded body shape and a variety of colors and patterns. Arothron species are generally peaceful but can be aggressive towards conspecifics. They require a varied diet, including meaty foods and hard-shelled invertebrates to help wear down their ever-growing teeth. Caution is advised as they can release toxins if stressed.
