Dwarf Pufferfish
Carinotetraodon travancoricus
About me: Hello, I am a pea puffer and the smallest of my species. You can even keep me in a shoal if you want, unlike many of my fellow species. This is because I am quite peaceful. Unfortunately I am very hungry and therefore I sometimes nibble the fins of long-finned fish like angelfish. So you should only socialize me with short finned fish. I only need a fine gravel or sandy bottom to be able to burrow in. When it comes to my diet, you should keep in mind that I may eat snails. These are indispensable for me - no matter how small I am.
