Amazon Pufferfish Colomesus Asellus 6cm

Overview: The Amazon Pufferfish, known scientifically as Colomesus asellus, is a captivating freshwater species revered for its endearing personality and unique appearance. Its charming round body, covered in small spines, and expressive eyes make it a delightful addition to any aquarium enthusiast’s collection.

Origin: Originating from the Amazon River basin in South America, these pufferfish thrive in warm, soft waters among dense vegetation and slow-moving streams.

Feeding: These omnivorous creatures eagerly accept a varied diet, relishing snails, small crustaceans, and plant matter. To maintain their health, provide a diverse diet supplemented with high-quality pellets or frozen foods.

Tank Mates: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other pufferfish of similar size and temperament. Avoid housing them with smaller, more delicate species that might become targets of their curious nature.

Aggression: Known for their inquisitive behavior, Amazon Pufferfish exhibit occasional territorial tendencies, especially during feeding times or when establishing their space within the aquarium. Monitoring their interactions with tank mates is essential to maintain harmony.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists due to their specific care requirements and occasional territorial behavior. Providing suitable conditions and understanding their needs are crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters: Maintain a stable and clean environment with temperatures between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C), a pH level ranging from 6.8 to 7.6, and soft to moderately hard water conditions.
