Fahaka Pufferfish

The Fahaka Pufferfish, also called the Nile Pufferfish, is the largest and most aggressive purely freshwater pufferfish species commonly available in the hobby. Growing to 43 centimetres, this solitary predator from the rivers of Africa features beautiful striped patterning and expressive, almost human-like eyes. It possesses a powerful beak capable of crushing snail shells and even biting through aquarium equipment. It must be housed alone — it will attack and kill any tank mate without exception.
