Valentini Puffer

The Valentini Puffer, Canthigaster valentini,  is also known as the black saddle puffer. Unlike other fish, it uses its pectoral fins for forward and backward movement. The Valentini Puffer can grow to be 4 inches, and should be kept in a tank no less than 30 gallons, and since it is toxic in nature, it is best suitable to keep in fish-only aquarium. When threatened, it generally inflates its body by taking in water in an attempt to prevent others from eating it. Using a container with water as opposed to a net when removing or transferring any Pufferfish is crucial to avoid ingestion of air.
