RED EYE PUFFER
Red Eye Pufferfish (Carinotetraodon travancoricus), also known as the Dwarf Pufferfish, is a fascinating and relatively small species of pufferfish. Their care requires attention to their specific needs to ensure they stay healthy and happy. Here’s a comprehensive guide for caring for Red Eye Puffers: Tank Setup: Size: A minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended for a small group, though larger tanks are better to provide more space and maintain stable water conditions. Water Conditions: They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.5-7.5) and a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C). Consistent water conditions are crucial for their well-being. Filtration: Use a gentle filter to avoid strong currents, which can stress the fish. Sponge filters or filters with adjustable flow rates are ideal. Tank Environment: Substrate: A soft substrate like fine gravel or sand is best. Puffers can be sensitive to rough substrates, which might damage their delicate undersides. Decor:
