Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Blue Dot Toby Puffer is both a vibrant and unique looking. They are also unique in how they move; unlike other fish that have pelvic fins this puffer will use its pectoral fins to move forward and backwards. Their scaleless body makes them sensitive to parameter changes. Like all puffers, the Blue Dot Toby is not reef safe because they will nip at corals and all invertebrates. Try avoiding tank mates that are slow or have very long fins because this puffer is also a fin nipper. To reduce aggression, provide plenty of hiding places and keep the puffer well fed. Their small adult size of about 4" makes them ideal for smaller aquariums. This puffer is littered with neon blue spots and markings that really make them stand out. Their longer snout also allows them to get into crevices for food. The Blue Dot Toby Puffer are found in the Indo-Pacific inhabiting sheltered rocky reefs, lagoons and seaward reefs. Their colorations can vary depending on where they are collected.

- Should be fed foods with a shell to wear down their teeth

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
