My lfs has some of this guys I was thing about getting one. I have a 30 gallon that will make a good home.
Tetraodon erythrotaenia
Red-striped toadfish


I was just wonder if anyone has one of this little guys. I look on the PufferPedia it says to put them in (Very alkaline freshwater or very low salinty brackish seem to have best results) but the information is a little low on this little guys. The lfs has them in freshwater I was just wondering if anyone have this little guys and what is your set-up

Someone here does, I remember reading about it but I can't remember who....

Someone asking the same question: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18760

The user bauk on here has/had one. Maybe contact them, or they'll see this and post.

I had one a couple of years ago.

They are very active hunter type predators.
You have to provide a cover for your tank though. That was how mine died.
My setup had a Low salinity with coral based gravel.
Very beautiful fish, unique and interactive.
Red-line will be most pronounced when healthy.

I fed mine with blood-worms (frozen), snails (live) and glass/ghost shrimps (live).

Cheers!

I had a pair, male and female, up until a few months ago. They were pretty cool, brackish fish. My two got along very well together, but I remember reading that other people had trouble keeping more than one in the same tank. Mine seemed to accept each other and really behaved as a united pair. I kept mine in low brackish and they seemed fine.
