Description
Spotted Congo Puffers hail from the Congo River basin in Africa. Growing up to 10cm in length, these infamous pufferfish are adored for their fairly mild temperaments, relative to other pufferfish.
Spotted Congo Puffers can be kept as a single specimen or in groups of six or more (250 litres +). Keeping fewer than six can resulted severe bullying. We strongly advise not housing Spotted Congo Puffers with any other species.
Spotted Congo Puffers require an established aquarium. Consider rocks, driftwood and lots of plants to break lines of sight within the aquarium.
Spotted Congo Puffers create a heavy biological load, we advise excessive filtration to manage their high levels of protein waste.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Congo Puffers live foods including earthworms, feeder snails and blood worm. We feed frozen mussel, cockles and prawns (hard shelled foods) to naturally grind down their ever-growing teeth.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
