The most sought after species of Arothron, the map puffer is not often available. this is perhaps the most cautious member of the genus. Once adjusted to aquarium life, the Map Puffer does great, but it is slower to adapt than other members of the genus. This puffer is typically not aggressive. When first introduced into the aquarium this is a very shy species, requiring a large tank with plenty of shelter, and tankmates that aren\'t too boisterous. Do not keep this fish in smaller tanks, it does not like confined spaces and will never adapt in such a situation. Once it is fully adjusted to the aquarium it is a hardy fish that can do great in a large tank with fishes such as triggers, groupers and larger wrasse.
