Golden Puffer

[Mr.Reefer]

The "yellow phase" Arothron meleagris is sometimes confused with the Yellow Dogface Puffer, Arothron nigropunctatus. As juveniles, both are dark in color, but the Golden Puffer lacks the distinct mask. Golden Puffers can make for an interesting & beautiful addition to the community. Although not highly aggressive, these fish consume large quantities of meaty foods like squid, muscle, cockle, silversides and shrimp. Keep them with other fishes that can hold their own at feeding time. Another concern is they can get big, so house them in a large glass aquarium with plenty of space. Their pronounced teeth and strong jaws can easily scratch acrylic tanks. Multiple species of pufferfish can be kept together provided they are purchased small and allowed to grow up together.

How much are we talking price wise? I am sure they are worth every penny, but I cant help it, I almost love them all, and Puffers have a special place with me.
