Pufferfish Gourami 11×17 Print

Description

Meet the “Pufferfish,” a fish that is absolutely not a pufferfish. This 11×17 art print showcases the vibrant dwarf gourami, a freshwater species that shares its labyrinth-breathing talent with bettas and snakeheads. Unlike its aggressive relatives, this little guy spends most of its time minding its own business—unless someone decides to misname it.

I first kept these fish back in college when I expanded my aquariums beyond bettas. They’re peaceful, quirky, and have long, elegant pelvic fins that function like feelers, constantly sensing their surroundings. They might not puff up in self-defense, but they sure do bring a unique energy to any tank—and any art collection.

This print blends humor, aquatic knowledge, and a burst of psychedelic color, making it perfect for fish lovers, aquarium enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a joke hidden in plain sight. Add a splash of color and a wink of irony to your space.
