| − | :This Puffer requires a varied diet of meaty foods including squid, krill, clams, and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth. | + | |identification=:A large and distinctive Puffer which changes appearance during different stages of its life. While in the black phase, it is black with white spots over the entire body. It's this colouration that gives it its common name as it resembles the colours of a Guinea Fowl bird. The golden phase is denoted by its rich burgundy to golden tan colouring with smaller white spots covering its body. It also has a yellow phase, during which, it is lacking the white spots. It very rarely changes phases while living in an aquarium. |

:The Golden Puffer lacks pelvic fins, but is very maneuverable, using its pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins. Instead of "teeth," it has a fused beak-like structure which it uses to crush prey. | :The Golden Puffer lacks pelvic fins, but is very maneuverable, using its pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins.
