How big is the biggest puffer fish in the world?

It depends greatly on the species. There are many different species of pufferfish, all which have their own sizes. Without an exact species, all I can do is provide you with an average size. Dwarf-type species can grow up to 6 inches (15cm) depending on the exact species. Typical pufferfish species can grow up to 39 inches (100cm), again, depending on the exact species.
