This species is a standout in our collection of marine ornamental fishes, sourced directly from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean off the Kenyan coast. Recognized for its unique coloration, friendly behavior, and ease of care, Canthigaster smithae is highly favored by aquarists and marine pet retailers alike.

Being a reliable ornamental marine fish exporter in East Africa we consistently supply premium-quality fish like this puffer to wholesalers, retailers, and transshippers worldwide. Our reputation as a reliable Indian Ocean fish supplier in Kenya and throughout Africa is built on sustainable practices, ethical sourcing, and a deep commitment to marine biodiversity.

Unique Description and Natural Habitat
Canthigaster smithae is a compact, torpedo-shaped pufferfish with a vibrant color palette that includes soft yellows, whites, and browns, often highlighted by faint stripes and intricate patterns around the face. It typically grows to a manageable size of about 9 cm, making it ideal for mid-sized marine aquariums. Native to coral-rich habitats of the Indian Ocean, this puffer thrives in environments that mimic reef structures, with ample hiding spaces and moderate current.

As an ornamental fish exporter in Kenya, we ensure that each Canthigaster smithae specimen is fished by skilled marine collectors, acclimatized with care, and exported under optimal conditions. Our attention to quality and logistics has earned us recognition among Kenyan marine ornamental fish exporters and African marine ornamental fish exporters.

Behavior and Compatibility
The Sharpnose Puffer is peaceful and interactive, often displaying a curious nature that makes it a favorite among hobbyists and collectors. Unlike larger puffers, Canthigaster smithae is reef-compatible with caution, especially in fish-only tanks or aquariums with hardy invertebrates. It adapts quickly to captivity and feeds on a variety of meaty marine foods, pellets, and algae-enriched diets.

As a dedicated Indian Ocean fish supplier in East Africa, we understand the specific handling needs of such sensitive yet hardy species, and our shipment processes prioritize the health and vitality of each fish. Our clientele, which includes marine dealers, transshippers, and retailers, appreciates our consistency in delivering top-tier livestock.
