Dwarf pufferfish have also been known to scatter their eggs on the substrate hidden within vegetation.

Dwarf pufferfish have become quite popular as aquarium fish thanks to their attractive colours, small size, and relative ease of maintenance.

Dwarf pufferfish are not used as food but are traded as aquarium fish.

Often dwarf pufferfish are plant-spawners, laying eggs in plants, including java moss in aquariums.
