Well they don't feed them with milk or anything because they are not mammals. They could get food for them, like birds, though.

What is a puffer fish prey?

Puffers are in the family tetraodontidae and are called such for their ability to draw in sea water into their stomachs when frightened and can triple in size. These fish's internal organs contain a tetrodotoxin, which is powerful enough to kill a human, depending on the specie of puffer. Not all puffers have spines. The porcupine puffer is the one with spines, which make the fish look like a big spikey ball when inflated. The porcupine puffer is not a true puffer, but is a diodon. This specie also has tetrodotoxin in the organs. In Japan this fish is called fugu and is eaten, thought to be a delicacy and very expensive. Only licensed highly trained sushi chefs are allowed to serve this fish. The puffer fish cannot excrete toxins, but their cousin, the toby, can.

What are some sphere fish?

Some of the most spherical fish you will find are puffer fish which are marine fish and can be really hard to keep. Plus, they only got spherical when they are angry or stressed. Another fish I know that you may like is the Silver Hatchet Fish. These are tropical, therefore easier to keep, but they are more a 2D circle shape instead of spherical. Hope this has helped.


Do pufferfish bite?

It depends on what other fish you have in the tank. Some puffers are aggressive and will not tolerate other fish. Puffers can also be very destructive and like to bite off pieces of your coral or decorations. They have to trim their teeth that way. They do make wonderful pets mainly because they have little fear of humans and make eye contact that melts your heart. I would research the exact species of puffer you want. Learn as much as you can about it. If you have time and want to read a great book, get "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist".
