Topaz Pufferfish (Fluviatilis)

Topaz Pufferfish (Dichotomyctere fluviatilis)
A stunning yellow-green brackish puffer with bold markings and a curious, intelligent personality

The Topaz Pufferfish, Dichotomyctere fluviatilis, is a beautifully patterned puffer known for its vibrant yellow-green body, dark reticulated markings, and bright, expressive eyes. Often confused with the Green Spot Puffer, the Topaz Puffer grows larger and develops more intense coloration as it matures. Highly intelligent and full of character. Topaz Pufferfish require a varied diet that includes hard-shelled foods to keep its ever-growing teeth trimmed. Best kept singly, the Topaz Puffer makes an impressive and interactive show fish for experienced aquarists.
