Red Line Cross River Pufferfish Tetraodon Pustulatus 15cm

Overview: The Red Line Cross River Pufferfish is a captivating freshwater species known for its striking red markings and engaging personality. With its unique appearance and inquisitive nature, this pufferfish makes a remarkable addition to any aquarist’s collection.

Origin: Hailing from the Cross River in Africa, this species thrives in freshwater habitats rich in vegetation and slow-moving waters.

Feeding: As carnivorous creatures, these pufferfish eagerly consume a diet consisting primarily of live or frozen foods like snails, shrimp, and various small invertebrates. Their strong beaks are perfect for breaking through shells, a natural behavior that helps maintain dental health.

Tank Mates: Best kept in a species-specific setup or with carefully chosen tank mates that can tolerate their occasional territorial behavior. Avoid housing them with small or slow-swimming fish, as their curious nature might lead to aggression.

Aggression: While they possess a territorial streak, providing adequate space and hiding spots can mitigate aggressive tendencies. Observing their behavior and ensuring a stress-free environment is crucial for their well-being.

Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced aquarists will find joy in caring for the Red Line Cross River Pufferfish. Their specific dietary needs and understanding their behaviors require a certain level of experience.

Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH between 7.0-8.0, and moderately hard water. Regular monitoring and quality filtration are essential for their health and comfort.
