Orange Ring Saddle Fugu Puffer Fish Takifugu Ocellatus 10cm

Overview: The Orange Ring Saddle Fugu Puffer Fish, known scientifically as Takifugu Ocellatus, is a strikingly vibrant and captivating addition to any aquarium. Its eye-catching orange ring and charming demeanor make it a prized choice for enthusiasts seeking a unique aquatic companion.

Origin: Originating from the coastal waters of East Asia, particularly found in Japan and Korea, these puffer fish inhabit shallow, brackish estuaries.

Feeding: This species is predominantly carnivorous, thriving on a diet of live and frozen foods like small crustaceans, snails, and occasionally, small fish. Their diet should be varied to ensure optimal health.

Tank Mates: It’s crucial to house the Orange Ring Saddle Fugu Puffer Fish with compatible tank mates that are non-aggressive and too large to be considered as prey. Peaceful, bottom-dwelling species like certain gobies, peaceful wrasses, and other puffers of similar size can make suitable companions.

Aggression: While generally peaceful, they may exhibit territorial behavior towards their own kind or similar-looking species. Careful observation and adequate space allocation can prevent conflicts.

Experience Level: Due to their specific dietary needs and sensitivity to water quality, caring for the Orange Ring Saddle Fugu Puffer Fish requires an intermediate to advanced level of expertise in aquatic husbandry.

Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial for their well-being. Aim for a pH range between 7.5 to 8.5, water temperature around 72-78°F (22-26°C), and a moderate salinity level of 1.005 to 1.010.
