PEA PUFFER

The Pea Puffer (Carinotetraodon travancoricus), also known as the Dwarf Puffer or Pygmy Puffer, is a fascinating and small freshwater fish known for its playful behavior and unique appearance. Native to freshwater rivers in India, these puffers are popular among aquarists for their charming personality and relatively small size. Here’s a detailed guide to caring for Pea Puffers: Tank Setup Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended, though a 20-gallon tank provides a more stable environment and more room for the fish to explore.
