Figure Eight Pufferfish Tertaodon Biocellatus 3cm

Overview: The Figure Eight Pufferfish, named for the distinctive figure-eight pattern on its body, is a charming and active freshwater species known for its inquisitive nature and entertaining antics. These small, colorful fish boast engaging personalities and are sure to captivate any aquarium enthusiast.

Origin: Native to brackish waters in Southeast Asia, particularly found in estuaries and river deltas, they thrive in slightly salty water conditions.

Feeding: These omnivorous creatures have a hearty appetite for snails, crustaceans, small fish, and various invertebrates. Offering a diverse diet including live and frozen foods, supplemented with occasional shellfish or snails to help wear down their ever-growing teeth, is ideal for their health.

Tank Mates: Best suited for species-only tanks due to their fin nipping tendencies and potential aggression towards other tank mates, especially smaller fish. Careful selection of tank companions is crucial to avoid conflicts.

Aggression: Known for their territorial behavior and occasional aggression, Figure Eight Pufferfish may assert dominance, especially when establishing territory. Providing ample hiding spots and space for each fish can help minimize conflicts.

Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced aquarists are recommended for keeping Figure Eight Pufferfish due to their specific dietary needs, sensitivity to water quality, and potential aggression. Regular monitoring of water parameters and attentive care are essential.

Water Parameters: Maintaining stable brackish water conditions is key:

  • Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 7.5-8.5
  • Salinity: 1.005-1.010 specific gravity (moderate brackish water)
