Freshwater Fish
Green Spotted Puffer.
A small, endlessly curious puffer with a spotted back and a bright white belly. Green spotted puffers are intelligent, personable fish that quickly learn to recognize their keeper. They start in fresh to low-brackish water as juveniles and need increasing salinity as they grow.
Live fish are priced per supplier batch — prices may vary. Call to confirm current pricing.

Live animals are sold in store only — we do not ship fish, coral, or invertebrates. Every animal is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it reaches the sales floor. This is a species we carry — it's most likely in the tanks around delivery days, but live stock changes daily. Please call (814) 456-9445 to confirm availability before you drive in.

Good tank mates
Best kept alone or only with its own kind, as it tends to nip fins and can be aggressive toward other fish.
Good to know
Green spotted puffers can inflate with water when threatened and have beak-like teeth that never stop growing.
