Tetraodon schoutedeni
Spotted Congo puffers were one of the most popular puffers in the hobby back in 1960’s. As the years went on they fell out of popularity as importing the fish became harder and harder. Now they are slowly starting to gain back popularity as a “less aggressive” but still unique puffer.
Spotted Congo puffers are less aggressive by nature than most other puffers, however it is a misconception that they are perfect “community puffers”. This species has been noted to attack tank-mates unprovoked and they like to chew on plants. When choosing tank-mates for this fish be mindful and make sure to choose hardy plants and fish that are bigger & faster than the puffer.
