Avocado Puffer (Auriglobus modestus) - 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: The avocado puffer ( Auriglobus modestus ), also known as the green, bronze, golden, or metallic puffer, is a unique species of true freshwater puffer. Unlike most puffers that don't have a body-plan built for speed, avocado puffers are very stream-lined and are quite the fast swimmer compared to their relatives. This is due to them being adapted for the fast-flowing sections of rivers and streams in southeast Asia. Being so agile and like most other puffers, having the possibility of being very predatory and belligerent in regards to other fish, the avocado puffer is not an ideal choice for most community tanks. Since these intelligent fish have great variation in their personalities, occasionally you can find one that does just fine with faster swimming tank mates such as medium.
