Hi You all,
I am trying to find more information about tetraodon Miurus or Congo Puffer, but I have found nothing....
T. miurusis a freshwater puffer found in the larger rivers (and sometimes rapids) of central Africa. These puffers prefer sandy bottoms, since they like to bury themselves up to their eyes. It will spend much of its time this way, as they have evolved an almost dorsal placement to their eyes. Their diet consists of invertebrates (such as worms and the like) and the occasional crustacean.
Has anybody any photo of the fish in their natural environment?
In which part of the Congo river lives? The Congo river is 5000km long.....
Any more information? Breeding?
