The Fahaka Puffer, also known as the Nile Puffer or the African Puffer, is a freshwater fish species native to Africa. It is a type of pufferfish, which means it has the ability to inflate itself into a round, spiky ball as a defense mechanism against predators. The Fahaka Puffer is a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts due to its unique appearance and interesting behavior. However, it requires a large tank with plenty of hiding places and a varied diet, as well as careful handling due to its toxic skin secretions.
