Taking care of a green spotted puffer (Tetraodon nigroviridis) can be a lot of fun, and they're very cute little fish. However, before you head out to purchase your fish, it's a good idea to pick up a green spotted puffer care guide to help you understand how to take care of your new pet. Unfortunately, there is a lot of information circulation about spotted puffers that is both false and very misleading - if you make the mistake of following it, then you will most likely end up with a dead puffer. This is especially true when it comes to Tetraodon nigroviridis.
At the very least, your puffer will never live up to it's full potential because it was not taken care of properly. One of the most common mistakes people make when they are new to keeping puffers is feeding them the wrong diet. All puffers are a very specialized fish, and you cannot treat them the same way that you do other types of tropical aquarium fish. Additionally, many pet stores make it seem like puffers make great community fish, when in reality, they will only terrorize (or eat!) everything in your tank if they aren't kept as a single specimen.
