I have two of them myself. They are very much alike t. irrubesco. So if you seek information on them, take a look at what's written about irrubescos. They are very cute, and very active little creatures.

They can be pretty aggressive against their own species. I know some people has experienced that the female has killed the male. In my tank it goes very well, at least so far. But I must always be prepared for what can happen I the long run. I have seen them nipping a little bit at each others tails.

Thank You! I would get a couple but I only keep large puffers, only ones that grow 6" or bigger.
My extended family stands @ 14", 12" and a 10" Fahakas and two pairs of Humpbacks.

Thanks again for the info! :)
