Carinotetraodon irrubesco

Common name: Red-spot Pufferfish

Origin: Southeast Asia (mainly from Thailand, Malaysia, and Borneo)

Optimal living conditions: 24 - 28 °C temperature
6.5 - 7.5 pH
60 l+ sized aquarium

Adult fish size: 4 - 5 cm

Diet: Feed a varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen or live foods like snails, brine shrimp, and bloodworms. Pufferfish require a meaty diet and may benefit from occasional hard-shelled foods (like snails) to help keep their teeth in check.

Tankmates: Best kept alone or with other species that are not too small or slow-moving, as the pufferfish can be territorial and may nip at fins. Avoid keeping with fin-nipping or aggressive species. Due to their territorial nature, it is often recommended to house them individually.
