GREEN SPOTTED PUFFERFISH

BRACKISH WATER is a unique environment where fresh water mixes with salt water, creating a distinct ecosystem often found in estuaries, mangroves and near river mouths. This special habitat supports a diverse range of fish species adapted to its fluctuating salinity levels.

GREEN SPOTTED PUFFERFISH

The green spotted pufferfish, also known as the leopard puffer, is a unique and vibrant inhabitant of coastal fresh, brackish and marine waters.

Like other puffers, the green spotted puffer has the remarkable ability to inflate its body into a ball when threatened, making it difficult for predators to eat. This inflation mechanism is coupled with the presence of tetrodotoxin, a potent toxin found in the fish's organs and skin, providing an effective deterrent against potential threats.

BLACK MOLLIES

Adapted to thrive in both freshwater and brackish environments, black mollies are known for their sleek, jet-black bodies that add a striking contrast to any setting. Black mollies are livebearers, giving birth to free-swimming fry, making them fascinating for those interested in observing the reproductive behaviors of fish.
