ALL PUFFED UP!

Meet the amazing, expanding fish…

This month we’re looking at the cheeky pufferfish of Dichotomyctere. With sharp ‘beaks’ that can make short work of fish and fingers, they need to be handled with care. Tim Smith takes us on a journey of species identification and aquarium husbandry, so that you don’t make an expensive error.
