What Is a Pea Puffer?

Pea puffer is commonly known as Pea puffer, dwarf puffer, Malabar puffer, Indian dwarf puffer, and bee puffer. Growing only one inch long, the pea puffer is now available at a reasonable price in our Shop. They live in freshwater and have an average 3-5 years lifespan. Choose the pea puffer with a round belly, and remember to ask the staff of the Micro Aquatic Shop for more advice and buy the healthiest pea puffers.

Do Pea Puffers Puff Up?

Yup, that's right. But it's rare to catch a puffer fish that puffs up to defend itself from predators (or just for practice), and they will return to their original shape when left alone for a while.

Please do not intentionally poke the pea puffer to make them aggressive. Instead, you can find pictures of puffy fish in external videos or photos online. If you need to transport them, using a cup or small box is best so the fish stays submerged in the water, and the air outside can't come in the box.

How many pufferfish can you have in a 10-gallon tank?

You can keep three puffins in a 10-gallon space if you already have an aquarium tank. Alternatively, you can save six to seven puffins in a 20-gallon tank if you provide plenty of cover material, such as aquatic plants or decorations. But the success rate depends on how well you set up the environment for them. In an open tank environment, without much cover, you will see the pea puffer fish's battle zone happen.

It's perfect if you already have a large aquarium. A large amount of water helps to dilute the waste and the ample space, so there is no "fight of the pea puffer.

If you are in one female and two male situations, you must add at least one male to the tank to minimize fighting.

More enormous puffins must be fed crunchy foods to increase tooth development. Still, pea puffers don't need to pay too much attention to this issue.
