Map Puffer Arothron mappa
A prized fish among advanced aquarists, with highly variable and sometimes magnificent color patterns. It is also a species that demands an enormous aquarium and some dedicated husbandry as the teeth may have to be filed down to prevent overgrowth. Best kept singly , although it is not aggressive toward other fishes, even other puffer species. Tends to be shy at first, and the tank should have a large cave or overhang where the puffer can take shelter. Eats sessile invertebrates and coralline algae.
Feed a varied diet of meaty foods, including chopped shrimp, squid, clams, enriched krill and fish, as well as preparations for herbivores.
