Leopard Toby Puffer – Canthigaster leoparda

\r\nThe Leopard Toby (Canthigaster leoparda) is characterized by clusters of black dots along the flanks of its pale body. Its body is more slender and its nose more elongated than many other tobies. These fish are not as common as other sharpnosed puffers, and are stunning in the right aquarium.\r\n

Puffers are not too demanding in terms of care, but they need plenty of space and ample filtration to keep the water quality pristine. They’re messy eaters, and the diet required for these fish can leave a lot of waste. Puffers have strong, ever-growing front teeth (beak) that they will need to wear down. They may chew on live rock in the tank to aid in the process. Feeding hard-shelled items, such as whole clams or shellfish, can also help to keep the teeth worn.\r\n
