- The pea puffer, scientifically known as Carinotetraodon travancoricus, thrives in freshwater aquariums. To ensure their well-being, maintain water parameters within the following ranges:
- Temperature: Keep the water temperature between 74°F to 82°F (23°C to 28°C). Pea puffers are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, so aim for stability.
- Water Hardness: Aim for a water hardness of 5 to 20 dGH. This range mimics their natural habitat conditions.
- Tank Size: While they're small, pea puffers need adequate space. A tank of at least 10 gallons is recommended, providing ample room for swimming and exploring.
- Feeding: These puffers have a unique diet. While they enjoy snacking on snails, it's crucial to provide a varied diet. Include high-quality pellets, frozen or live foods like bloodworms and daphnia to ensure they receive essential nutrients.
- Water Quality: Regular water changes and proper filtration are crucial. Pea puffers are sensitive to poor water quality, so monitor parameters consistently and address any issues promptly.
- pH Level: Maintain a pH level in the range of 7.0 to 8.0. Pea puffers adapt well to a slightly alkaline environment.
