More about Golden puffer

The Golden Puffer is a distinctive and visually appealing species known for its bright golden-yellow coloration, which makes it a striking addition to any aquarium. This fish originates from the warm, tropical waters around Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It features a characteristic pufferfish body shape - globular with large, expressive eyes, and a potent ability to inflate itself as a defense mechanism. While not the largest species in the puffer family, it is of a moderate size that suits well for home aquariums. In the hobby, the Golden Puffer is relatively well-known and sought after, primarily due to its vibrant color and unique personality. However, its care requires a level of expertise, as it has specific dietary and tank requirements, and like many puffers, it can exhibit territorial behavior.
