Información del producto

🐟 Topaz Puffer – (Dichotomyctere fluviatilis) – Colorful Brackish Water Pufferfish for Sale

The Topaz Puffer (Dichotomyctere fluviatilis), also known as the Ceylon Puffer, is a vibrant brackish water pufferfish prized for its shimmering golden-yellow body, emerald-green back, and pearly white belly. Native to the estuaries, mangrove swamps, and lower river regions of South and Southeast Asia, this intelligent and curious fish is full of personality. Like other puffers, it is known for its ability to inflate when threatened and for its expressive, dog-like behavior with keepers. The Topaz Puffer is semi-aggressive and best kept with careful tankmate selection or in a species-only setup.
