Overview:

Peaceful. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this fish. The second thing that comes to mind: Fresh Water. Unlike most puffers, this species can be kept together in groups and with other community fish. And they can be kept in fresh water for their entire life. This makes them, along with Tetradon schoutedeni, a delightful anomaly in the world of small-ish puffers.

All of our puffers are dewormed with Praziquantel, Metronidazole, Flubendazole, and Levamisole upon arrival.

Setup Considerations:

These puffers are rapid swimmers, so room to roam is helpful. They are also very curious and like to explore structures in the water, so the more hardscape, plants, nooks, and crannies available for them to scan, the more enriched their lives will be.

Diet: Carnivore

These guys are currently eating frozen bloodworms, live shrimp, live ostracods, and live snails. They can be trained to eat Hikari Vibra Bites, Xtreme Monster Pellets, and Repashy foods.

Location: Wyoming, United States

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
