Pufferfish are relatively slow swimmers, typically reaching speeds of around 1 to 3 miles per hour (1.6 to 4.8 kilometers per hour). They rely more on their ability to inflate and their toxic defense mechanisms to deter predators rather than speed. Their unique body structure and swimming style contribute to their slower pace in the water.

Pufferfish are generally not known for their speed; they typically move slowly and may swim at a pace of about 1 to 2 kilometers per hour. However, they can quickly inflate when threatened, which is their primary defense mechanism rather than a means of rapid movement. Overall, their swimming speed is relatively low compared to many other fish species.
