Product Details
Wholesale 6" - 7" porcupine blowfish with sharp spines are fish of the family Diodontidae, also commonly called blowfish, balloonfish and globefish. Porcupine fish or porcupine blowfish are perfect gifts for collectors of weird and unusual items.  They come with a hanger for easy display.  Porcupinefish are closely related to pufferfishes but porcupinefish have heavier spines on their body. Porcupine fish are medium to large sized fish, and are found in shallow temperate and tropical seas worldwide.  Porcupine blowfish have the ability to double their size by inflating their body by swallowing water or air, thereby becoming rounder. This increase in size reduces the range of potential predators to those with much bigger mouths.
Porcupine fish have a second defense mechanism  provided by their sharp spines.
