10 TOTALLY FRESHWATER PUFFERS!

10 TOTALLY FRESHWATER PUFFERS! #pufferfish
vinnys-aquatics-merch-3.creator-spring.com/
All puffer fish belong to the family Tetraodontidae.
Puffer fish are tropical fish found in marine, brackish and freshwaters across the world. There are over 150 species, and only around 30 of them live in freshwaters.
Raising freshwater pufferfish is a great challenge for any experienced aquarium keeper. You’re going to need a large tank and the ability to filter the water quickly and thoroughly, but we’re assuming you know all that and are here to compare a bunch of varieties to see which one you like best.
We’ve been able to round up 10 different breeds of freshwater pufferfish to look over with you so you can see if there are any that catch your eye. We’ll show you what they look like as well as supply you with some facts that might be relevant to each breed.
Even though they look cute they are very aggressive and territorial - particularly during breeding seasons.
Puffers are ferocious predators, with many different hunting techniques.
Open Waters Hunters: The Golden Puffer and the South American puffer swim over rocky and sandy substrate looking for prey. They swim over plants or oyster beds looking for small crustaceans, snails, or clams to eat.
Stealth Predators: The crested puffer fish, the dwarf puffer, and the red-tailed dwarf puffer prefer to stay hidden. They are usually found in overgrown riverbanks and places with plenty of hiding spots and like to attack from the shadows.
Ambush Predators: The last class of hunters is known as the ambush predators (such as the congo puffer). They dig themselves into the sand waiting for a fish to come by and then lunge upward for the kill.
A bad habit that most puffers have, is that they are fin-nippers. Notorious fin nippers are all the species of Auriglobus and Chonerhinos.
Another peculiar behavior observed among many species is their ability to spit or blow water over the substrate to uncover hidden prey. They have been known to spit water at you from the surface to ask for more food.

You just made my day with that comment 🤣🤣🤣 thank You so much! Hope you’re having a great day my friend 👍

[@CrazyAquariumGuy]

Sorry to be that guy, but correction. You better have atleast a 125 ready for a Fahaka. The frst 10 Inches takes only 12-14 months. Then they grow slower.

Hey man if you wanna do a low budget, low tech planted tank, but have it work as well as any other planted tank with aquasoil look into the walstad method

[@SnowWhiteTheU2]

what puffer do you recommend to live in a 75 gallon tank with a diamondback terrapin turtle ?

[@drockingfish]

Nice!

[@drewl7164]

Have any Mbu or Fahaka Puffer to rehome? I have a 538 gallon ready

I want to add a spotted congo puffer to my diamondback terrapins 75 gallon tank. he is timid and not aggressive… is this still a bad idea ?
