Marine fish: Puffers, Boxfish, Porcupinefish
All of these fish, excluding the single species family, Triodontidae, are found in most of the tropical oceans of the world. Triodontidae is
found in the Indo-West Pacific. Puffers, boxfish, and Porcupinefish are all very hardy aquarium residents that like to eat meaty foods.
They love to eat, so if you like to feed fish, think about getting these kinds of fish! They generally move kind of awkwardly using their
pectoral fins for locomotion and the tail fin only in case of emergency or newly arrived food. They are usually very interesting fish to
observe and are quite unusual in appearance. [eng]
