Absolutely not. There are hundreds of species of puffers alive and well, many of which can be kept in the home aquarium.

Some species of pufferfish/blowfish are endangered, and some are not. There are about 120 different species.

Most pufferfish are not in danger, or have not had enough research done to know. However, these species are different:

  • The Chinese puffer is listed as Critically Endangered because of overfishing.
  • Pufferfish found near Easter Island are endangered because of the destruction of reefs around the island.
  • The redline pufferfish and the dwarf pufferfish are both listed as vulnerable to extinction.
