Sompong Pufferfish Tetraodon Lorteti 10cm

Overview: The Sompong Pufferfish, scientifically known as Tetraodon Lorteti, is a captivating and unique freshwater species prized for its endearing personality and striking appearance. Recognizable by its distinctive markings and endearing, pudgy shape, this pufferfish is a delight for hobbyists seeking an engaging aquatic companion.

Origin: Originating from Southeast Asia, specifically Thailand, the Sompong Pufferfish inhabits slow-moving rivers, ponds, and marshes. Its natural habitat consists of warm, slightly acidic waters rich in vegetation.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, these pufferfish have a hearty appetite for live and frozen foods. They particularly relish in snails, small crustaceans, and various meaty treats. Offering a diverse diet ensures their health and happiness.

Tank Mates: Due to their territorial nature and potential aggression, the Sompong Pufferfish is best kept in a species-specific tank. Avoid housing them with smaller or timid fish as they may become targets of aggression.

Aggression: This species can display aggression, especially towards other pufferfish or fish that resemble them in appearance or size. Providing ample hiding spots and space can help reduce territorial behavior.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists due to their specific care needs and potential for aggression. Understanding their behavior and meeting their dietary requirements is crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters: Maintaining water quality is paramount. Aim for temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH levels around 7.0-7.8, and moderate hardness. Regular water changes and filtration are essential for their health.
