The Yellowbelly dogface puffer is commonly referred to as the Golden Perch, Callop and Murray perch. The Yellowbelly dogface puffer makes a captivating addition to a home aquarium. This puffer thrives well in a moderate temperature range and is mainly carnivorous in nature and feeds on shrimp, molluscs and smaller fishes.  Always be careful while handling the fish around the gill plates as it contains razor sharp plates along the edge that can inflict painful wounds if comes in contact. The Yellowbelly dogface puffer also has spines in the front part of the dorsal fin that makes it even more risky to handle. This puffer prefers slow water with turbid section of streams that makes it more at home in the aquarium. Be cautious when keeping this puffer with inverts or small fish as it may assume they are food.

The Yellowbelly Dogface - Central Pacific was shipped extremely well, and it was a perfect addition to my reef tank. I acclimated according to the instructions, and I have had no problems with any of the fish I have received. What more can you ask for? Cheaper then my local fish store and it was delivered to my front door the next day.
