Re: General Care For Carinotetraodon (Red Eye) Species

Hi and thank you so much for your response! I've double checked with my supplier and it seems that it is indeed irrubesco, evidenced by the males' red tail fins. I have a 12 gallon cube, thinking of a M/F pair, perhaps a M/FF trio? What do you think? (The welfare of the puffers is above all, I'd ha...

Re: General Care For Carinotetraodon (Red Eye) Species

Hi! I have owned 4 Irrubescos for a while now and they are fairly chill. I cannot speak for Lortetis at all because I've never kept them, but I have heard they are more aggressive.

Re: Carinotetraodon irrubesco Tank Mates

I have kept four Irrubescos (3 males, 1 female) with black neon tetras for about 7 months now and never had an incident. In fact, one of the males was being highly aggressive to his irrubesco tankmates and had to be moved to his own tank a 3 months ago (with the tetras). The tetras can steal food fr...
