Red Congo Potato Puffer Fish Tetraodon Miurus 5cm

Overview: The Red Congo Potato Puffer Fish, scientifically known as Tetraodon Miurus, is a striking and rare freshwater species prized for its vibrant red coloration and unique markings. This puffer, native to the Congo River Basin, captivates with its charming personality and engaging behavior, making it a standout choice for seasoned aquarists seeking a captivating addition to their tanks.

Origin: Hailing from the intricate waterways of the Congo River Basin in Africa, these Puffer Fish inhabit slow-moving waters, favoring densely vegetated areas and shaded regions with ample hiding spots.

Feeding: Their diet primarily consists of protein-rich foods such as snails, shrimp, and various small crustaceans. Red Congo Potato Puffers also relish in the occasional offering of live or frozen foods, like bloodworms and blackworms, to ensure a well-rounded diet and optimal health.

Tank Mates: Due to their territorial nature, it’s recommended to house Red Congo Potato Puffers in species-specific tanks or alongside larger, robust fish that can hold their own and won’t compete for territory or food. Avoid small, delicate tank mates to prevent potential aggression.

Aggression: These Puffers exhibit a moderate level of aggression, particularly towards smaller or similarly sized fish. Providing ample hiding spaces and territories within the tank can help reduce aggressive behavior.

Experience Level: Keeping Red Congo Potato Puffers demands an intermediate to advanced level of expertise in fishkeeping. Their specific dietary needs, territorial tendencies, and potential aggression require careful attention and understanding.

Water Parameters: Maintaining water conditions within the parameters of pH 7.0-8.0, temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C), and moderately hard water (8-12 dGH) closely mimics their natural habitat and ensures their well-being.
