Wow very nice fish. One of the stores I go to has a black one with metallic gold on his belly... I would love to buy him but know I can't.

I kept one of these about 5 years ago. Unfortunately I moved from Florida to Arizona and had to sell it. Nicest Puffer I have owned to this day. Got him about 6" and grew to about 9-10" in a year. All the personality of a regular dogface but much nicer looking!

Mine had much more white spots on its belly though.

I know someone who has a very rare Yellow Dalmation puffer. Most stunning Puffer you can find IMO. Its kind of similar to the black dogface (actually is the same species....these all are just color morphs)-- kind of 'cow printed' black and white with yellow belly and fins. Its about 11" and full grown. I think 8 years old now.
