Spiny Porcupine Pufferfish Diodon Holocanthus

Overview: The Spiny Porcupine Pufferfish, scientifically known as Diodon holocanthus, is a captivating and unique addition to marine aquariums. Known for its ability to inflate when threatened, revealing its characteristic spines, this species adds an intriguing dynamic to any tank. It possesses a distinct personality, often showing curiosity about its environment and its caregivers.

Origin: This species is found in warm, tropical waters across the globe, from the Indo-Pacific to the Eastern Pacific regions. They typically reside in reefs and rocky coastal areas, where they can easily find shelter and food.

Feeding: Porcupine Pufferfish are omnivores, with a preference for meaty foods. Their diet should include a variety of shrimp, squid, clams, and mussel meat. To maintain their strong beak-like teeth, it's important to provide them with hard-shelled food items, such as crustaceans, that they can crunch on.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for Diodon holocanthus is crucial due to their potential for aggression, especially when housed in smaller tanks. Suitable companions include larger, peaceful to semi-aggressive fish that are not small enough to be considered prey. It's advisable to avoid keeping them with small, timid, or long-finned fish.

Aggression: While generally peaceful, the Spiny Porcupine Pufferfish can show signs of territorial aggression, particularly towards its own kind or similarly shaped species. Adequate space and hiding spots can help minimize stress and aggression.

Experience Level: Caring for a Porcupine Pufferfish requires an intermediate level of marine aquarium experience. Their specific dietary needs, potential size, and the ability to release toxins when stressed necessitate a dedicated and knowledgeable caregiver.

Cake plate size
Item Package Quantity: 200, Size: 7 Inch Plate
These are more like cake plates or children's plates. I use them for desserts or a sandwich but when I want a bigger one then I get the other ones a bigger size...... The quality is good though and the price is acceptable.
