Giant Freshwater Puffer Fish Tetradon Mbu

Overview: The Tetraodon mbu, or Giant Freshwater Puffer Fish, is an impressive species known for its striking appearance and captivating personality. Originating from the freshwater rivers of Central and West Africa, this puffer is revered for its large size and distinctive ability to inflate itself when stressed or threatened.

Feeding: These voracious eaters have a carnivorous diet, thriving on a menu of meaty foods like shrimp, mussels, and snails. Incorporating a variety of live or frozen foods is key to their health and satisfaction.

Tank Mates: Due to their territorial nature and potential for aggression, selecting tank mates can be challenging. Best kept alone or with large, robust fish that won’t be intimidated by their presence.

Aggression: Known for their assertive behavior, Giant Freshwater Puffers can display aggression, especially towards smaller tank mates or intruders in their space. Providing plenty of hiding spots and space can help mitigate conflicts.

Experience Level: Owning and caring for a Tetraodon mbu demands intermediate to advanced experience in fishkeeping. Their specific needs, including dietary requirements and potential aggression, make them more suitable for experienced aquarists.

Water Parameters: These puffers thrive in well-filtered, spacious tanks with stable water conditions. Optimal parameters include a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH around 7.0-7.5, and moderately hard water.
