Are there pufferfish in australia
Yes!!!!! They mostly live up north but you still get them down south!! Good Puffer Names Include:
- The Ferocious Pufferfish (Feroxodon multistriatus) who will fight u
- Weeping Toadfish (Torquigener pleurogramma) Who kinda looks like someone spilt paint on them and their fins were too short to clean it off so they left it to drip
- Compressed Toby (Canthigaster compressa) who isn't as flat as you'd think
- Starry Puffer (Arothron stellatus) who's beautiful backs differ depending on where u see one
#These are just a few lmao#the ones with the pretty names#but u go snorkelling and stuff and ur definitely going to run into at least a smooth toadie#aquariusdegel#Answered
