Description
Pea Puffers hail from the Pamba River System in India. Growing to only 2.4cm in length, these tiny freshwater puffers are in fact the smallest pufferfish in the world!
Pea puffers are best kept in groups of six or more to minimise aggression within the shoal. To dilute the aggression amongst the males, keep a ratio of at least two females to each male.
To help your pea puffer community to thrive, consider a heavily planted aquarium with rocks and driftwood to break up lines of sight. If you opt for an empty aquarium, even two pea puffers will fight. Provide gentle water flow, pea puffers struggle in strong currents.
At Wirral Aquatics our Pea Puffers enjoy a diet of feeder snails and live and frozen foods including bloodworm, brine shrimp and blackworms.

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.
