Dwarf Pea Puffer
This fish has to be one of the most intelligent inquisitive fish available
A few considerations to note, they require deworming every 3 months and need a specific diet. Aquarium Smiths Dewormer is easy to use, cost effective and works. We feed the Ocean Nutrition frozen bloodworm with spirulina and garlic which they readily accept. We do have customers that report their puffers are eating dry foods like Hikari Vibra Bites but this is not guaranteed.
They will eat snails and this can be a huge advantage in the planted aquarium where pest snails are a problem.
We do keep them together with shrimp as seen in the pictures above but it is risky and they will eat baby shrimp but large adults seem to be safe enough but do watch them.
Aqua Empire has the world’s largest Pygmy puffer on display in store.
We recommend keeping them with Tetras and Rasboras and not with slower moving fish like Gourami or Guppies
