Carnivorous aquarium fishes are common, but not a pufferfish, it will haunt you with its eating abilities. Also called the balloon fish because of the shape it takes, they have large teeth and they apparently keep on growing. The teeth are known for crushing hard shells of crustaceans and mollusks, which is why they can eat even a scorpion with much ease. A video of a pufferfish gorging upon a centipede, scorpion and a snake was shared on the internet and it has no wonder, gone viral.
