Honeycomb puffer care

[coralfish1]

Hi there
My LFS has a few of these honeycomb puffers ( Canthigaster janthinoptera ) and I was wondering if it’s care differs in any significant way from any of the other Toby puffers. Specifically if it gets larger or is more aggressive than any of the others.

They are pretty similar in care to any other toby puffer.

Thanks for the help. What sort of tank size do you think they would be comfortable in.

I would say anything 40ish gallon or more would be fine. They are the most active swimmer in the sense they swim back and fort every time, but they do get around 5ish inches, so anything 40-50gallons would be sufficient enough.
