Fangs Mekong Freshwater Puffer Fish Tetradon Pao Cochinchinensis 10cm

Introducing the captivating Fangs Mekong Freshwater Puffer Fish Tetradon Pao Cochinchinensis, a gem of the aquatic world! Originating from the Mekong River in Southeast Asia, these remarkable creatures boast unique characteristics that enchant any aquarist.

In their natural habitat, they thrive on a diet of small crustaceans, snails, and plant matter. When kept in captivity, their feeding preferences extend to high-quality frozen or live foods like bloodworms, snails, and small crustaceans. Their diet can be enriched with occasional vegetation like blanched vegetables or specialized puffer pellets.

When it comes to tank mates, caution is advised. These puffers tend to be solitary and can display aggression towards other fish, particularly those with a similar size or temperament. It’s advisable to house them with non-aggressive, fast-swimming tank mates or keep them in a species-only setup to prevent territorial conflicts.

For experienced aquarists seeking a challenge, the Fangs Mekong Puffer demands careful attention to water parameters. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with temperatures ranging from 74-80°F (23-27°C). Ensuring excellent water quality is crucial, so regular water changes and efficient filtration are a must.

Due to their territorial behavior and specific care needs, these puffers are recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Their captivating appearance and distinct personality make them a fascinating addition to an expertly curated aquarium, providing an unparalleled viewing experience for dedicated fish enthusiasts.
