Mainly a predator, except to the tiger shark. Then It would be prey

the puffer fish has an extremely weird adaption but it is 100% true. when the puffer fish gets scared it puffs up and takes about 30 dumps while swimming away. the puffer fish does this because the dump it takes will change colors confusing the predator and this makes the predator usually give up!
The main enemy of puffer fish are sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles, as they are the primary predators of puffer fish in the ocean. Additionally, some larger fish and seabirds may prey on smaller puffer fish.
Attacks and eats it
it scares the predator away
Some animals known to prey on puffer fish in their natural habitat include sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles.
Puffer fish typically consume small crustaceans, mollusks, and other small marine creatures as prey in their natural habitat.
it is a prey i think and yeah and second of all it eats the fish.
The niche of the puffer fish primarily involves its role as a herbivore and detritivore in marine and freshwater ecosystems. By feeding on algae and small invertebrates, puffer fish help maintain ecological balance. Their unique ability to inflate and produce toxins serves as a defense mechanism against predators, influencing predator-prey dynamics. This specialized adaptation allows them to thrive in diverse habitats while deterring threats.
It depends if one species of fish is a predator to another and the population of the predator fish is higher then the prey fish then the prey fish will be lower in population
An example of predator and prey relationship is a lion hunting and consuming a zebra in the African savanna. The lion is the predator that relies on the zebra as its prey for nourishment. This relationship is essential for maintaining balance in the ecosystem.
its da prey. mad fish be wantin to eat it.
