Above: In this picture is a nice premium quality Green Spotted Puffer, swimming in one of our aquariums when one of our crew members took this picture.
Comments: These are premium Puffers that we rarely see in the live fish stores or in the online stores that e visit.
Premium Puffers like these are more hardy and more colorful than Puffers from other sources.
Origin: This Puffer is a wild fish that was caught in either freshwater or brackish water in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia or the Philippines by very skillful collectors of wild fish and shipped to us.
Maximum Size: In a large aquarium this Puffer can grow to be about 6" long including its tail, but they live many years and continue to grow slowly for their entire lives, so once in a while there may be one bigger than 6" long.
Behaviors: They can be aggressive toward other fish and may nip on other fish.
Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include equally aggressive fish, or this species should be kept in a species only tank.
Another idea is to include fast swimming fish like Zebra Danio, also the Panda Tetra seems to do well with this Pufferfish, and maybe other fast swimming Tetras will too. But I have never tried them. Oh, and the Golden Zebra Loach seems to do well.
Small fish, crabs, shrimp, and lobsters may be eaten by this Puffer, so be careful when selecting tankmates.
Temperature: This Puffer can live pretty well from about 75 to 82 degrees F., but they're probably most comfortable from at about 78 degrees F.
