There are no visible differences between male and female Green Spotted Puffers. It is thought that the male is slightly larger than the male, but this is unconfirmed.
Breeding Green Spotted Puffers in captivity has never been recorded, but there are several theories about it (such as providing a large tank- 120+ gallons, a sand bed, a slate stone, and bog wood).
The male may be slimmer and the female more rounded but this is also unconfirmed. There have been a few records of them breeding in aquariums but none done commercially.

Will a male green spotted puffer fish eat the eggs?
Green Spotted Puffers (and most other puffers) are nearly impossible to breed in captivity, and exact procedure has never been recorded. It's thought that the female will lay her eggs on a slate stone and the male will fertilize and fan them with his tail, not much else is known. But it's entirely possible the male will eat the eggs, and the young. GreenSpottedPuffer.Net

How does a porcupine fish reproduce?
After a male and female porcupine puffer fish mate there are spherical eggs that drift throughout the water (Casey Patton, Education Biological Profiles). When the fish mate they go to the top of the ocean and it usually occurs early in the morning (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). After about five days the eggs hatch and become larva (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). Then in about three months' time the larva has developed into a porcupine puffer fish (Puffer the Magical Blowfish). People might think that the porcupine puffer fish guards their offspring but surprisingly they doesn't (Aquatic Community).
For dalmatians spotted is dominant to non-spotted A female dalmatian mates with an unkown male dalmatian She has six pups 3 spotted 3 nonspotted What are the genotypes phenotypes of the male?
There are two possible phenotypes and genotypes for the male. We know that neither the male or the female can be S/S (S = spotted, N = non spotted) because this would result in all of the pups being spotted due to spotted being the dominant gene. Therefore the male must be either S/N or N/N, However the S/N genotype gives the 1:1 ratio of spotted to non-spotted (assuming the female is as well) which is what the pup ratio is, so we can assume that is the male's genotype.
Is your Betta fish a male or female?
