Leopard Toby Puffer

[tinderly]

Anyone have any experience with Leopard Toby Puffers ( Canthigaster leoparda )? I know that they have a max size of 3 inches and that its kind of give or take as far as having them in a main display with non aggressive fish. That they may or may not be aggressive towards lets say False Occ. Clown Fishes. Any personal experience with these guys?

From what I've read from the owner of a Leopard Toby on another site, it's virtually identical to other Tobies in behavior. Generally very peaceful, just go about minding their own business. My Blue Spot loves to hunt pods/worms in the LR. Fairly bold eater, he just makes sure he get's his share. Pretty active fish, if it's for your 55gal, more then enough room.

Leopard Toby Puffers are still quite rare to the trade. They hail from Micronesia which has not exported fish for about a decade. Fortunately some shipments are starting to roll again.

Was thinking maybe for the 225. He's just as cute as can be!
