Pygmy Dwarf Freshwater Puffer Fish Carinotetraodon Travancoricus 1cm

Overview: Meet the Pygmy Dwarf Freshwater Puffer Fish—tiny yet full of personality! These pint-sized puffers, scientifically known as Carinotetraodon travancoricus, boast vibrant colors and captivating behaviors, making them a delightful addition to any aquarium.

Origin: Originating from the freshwater streams and rivers of South India, these puffers thrive in densely vegetated waters. Their natural habitats consist of slow-moving waters with plenty of hiding spots among plants and driftwood.

Feeding: These voracious eaters enjoy a varied diet. They’ll gladly munch on live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and snails. Their beaks continuously grow, so providing hard-shelled foods helps keep them healthy.

Tank Mates: Due to their small size and shy nature, it’s best to house them with peaceful tank mates of similar size. Snails, small shrimp, or other non-aggressive fish can be suitable companions. However, avoid housing them with fin-nipping species to prevent stress.

Aggression: Though small, these puffers have a big attitude! They may display territorial behavior, especially during breeding or if they feel threatened. Providing ample hiding spots and space can help mitigate aggression.

Experience Level: Ideal for intermediate aquarists, these puffers require attention to detail in maintaining water quality and providing a balanced diet. Their small size demands precision in feeding and tank maintenance.

Water Parameters: Maintain water conditions with temperatures between 74-82°F (23-28°C), pH levels ranging from 7.0 to 7.6, and moderate water hardness (5-15 dGH). A well-filtered tank with regular water changes ensures their health and vitality.
