Malebo Ocellated Freshwater Congo Puffer Fish Tetradon Duboisi 5cm

Overview: The Malebo Ocellated Freshwater Congo Puffer Fish, known for its striking appearance and vibrant ocelli markings, is a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. With its distinct coloration and curious demeanor, it’s a delight for both seasoned aquarists and enthusiasts.

Origin: Hailing from the Congo River basin, this species inhabits slow-moving waters rich in vegetation. They thrive in environments with ample hiding spots and a mix of open spaces for exploration.

Feeding: These puffers have a carnivorous palate, relishing live and frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, snails, and small crustaceans. They’ll also appreciate occasional treats like quality pellet or flake food.

Tank Mates: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with peaceful, non-aggressive companions. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species. Due to their shy nature, they may feel stressed with overly active tank mates.

Aggression: While generally peaceful, Malebo Ocellated Puffers may display territorial behavior, especially when establishing their space or during breeding. Adequate hiding spots and space can mitigate potential aggression.

Experience Level: Intermediate. They require attention to water quality and feeding habits but can be managed well with proper care and maintenance.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 7.0-8.0
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
