188. Freshwater Pufferfish Leave a comment
Everyone loves pufferfish! They are well known for their boisterous behaviors, curious personalities, and silly googly eyes. They come in a wide range of sizes and temperaments, but are often tough to fit into many existing aquariums due to their “bite first, ask questions later” mentality. In this episode, we discuss a variety of species; including their size, care, and compatibility. From puny pea puffers to monstrous mbu, there’s bound to be a puffer you’ll fall in love with.
