Re: Congo info?
Check out the many articles we have in the Library here, on the suvattii (Pignose/Arrowhead) puffer. Identical care.
Also, read our feeding articles, especially the ones on getting them off dead foods.

Re: Congo info?
congos are awesome pufferpunk is right its basically identical care as the arrowhead/pignose
i just wanted to say about the sand dont go and buy expensive crazy sand for the LFS hit up home depot or lowes thats where i got my sand, 50lbs of it for 3 dollars compared to 30 dollars for "aquarium sand" and my arrowhead always digs little holes and lays in it or trys to hide in it
i wanted a bit of color so i baught a 10 LB bag of colored and mixed it with the top layers of regular sand to make it look better, going cheaper in this situation is way better
