What type of climate does the puffer fish like to live in?

Pufferfish prefer tropical and subtropical waters with warm temperatures and salinity levels. They can be found in both freshwater and saltwater environments, but the majority of species live in coastal waters.

Here's a breakdown:

* Temperature: They generally thrive in water temperatures ranging from 68°F to 82°F (20°C to 28°C).

* Salinity: While they can tolerate a range of salinity levels, they prefer brackish water (a mix of freshwater and saltwater) or slightly salty water. Some species are adapted to freshwater environments.

* Habitat: They typically inhabit coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves, and rocky bottoms, as well as estuaries and lagoons.

It's important to note that different species of pufferfish have slightly different preferences within this general range. Some species may tolerate slightly colder or warmer waters or prefer specific habitats.
