The Green Spotted Puffer (Tetraodon nigoviridis) is a colorful fish native to Southeast Asia. They are recognizable by their yellow-green backs dotted with black or brown leopard-like spots.
Green Spotted Puffers have become very popular in home aquariums due to their spunky attitudes and unique behaviors.
The Green Spotted Puffer is unlike any fish you have ever owned, and has very specific needs. Unfortunately, pet stores often sell them to uneducated aquarium owners without providing the correct information.
It’s always important to research a fish species before purchase, and failing to do so in this case will result in a premature death for your Green Spotted Puffer as well as possibly all other fish in your tank.
