The Puffer Forum

Hi all,

I have 4 newly cycled tanks to fill. I have looked around and seems to be a lot of target species available at the moment, i can get any of the following:

Pao Abei / Tetraodon cochinchinensis / possible turgidus

Are any of these more active than others? I already have a pair of humpbacks, I assume they are more active than these??

The cochinchinesis i can get looks a particular beautiful specimen.

Thanks

Be sure to show as many photos as you can of the good looking ones you acquire.

It's 2018, most of us have pretty decent cameras, but a lot of people don't even have positive IDs on their puffers yet!

My favorite of those is the Abei, but yeah as long as you are able to go with what you want. I believe that all three species are fairly inactive.

I have a T cochinchinesis and its personality has really bloomed over time, but initially it would just hide as much as it possibly could [in a planted aquarium]. Now it likes to chill in the corner nearest me and beg for food, as well as swim around, hide under a big leaf, etc. And none of the crazy pacing up and down the glass like some active species.
