Species Highlight: Dwarf Indian Puffer

Appearance:
The Dwarf Indian Puffer is a small freshwater pufferfish that grows to only 1–1.5 inches in length. They have a vibrant yellow-green body covered in dark spots and a beak-like mouth.

Origin:
These fish are native to the calm, freshwater rivers and streams of southern India, where they live among dense vegetation and slow-moving waters.

Behavior:
Dwarf Puffers are active, curious, and highly intelligent little fish. They’re full of character and often interact with their surroundings and their keepers! However, they can be quite territorial and nippy, so aggression should be carefully managed.

Diet:
Dwarf Indian Puffers are carnivorous, thriving on live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. With patience, some individuals can be trained to eat pellets or flakes.

Fun Fact:
Although very rare, Dwarf Puffers can “puff up” by taking in water when frightened. This is a natural defense mechanism but can be stressful for the fish. Therefore, you should never attempt to make your puffer inflate intentionally.

Tank Requirements:
Minimum Tank Size: 10 gallons for a single fish; larger for groups
pH: 6.8–7.5
Water Temperature: 74–80°F
Filtration: Gentle filtration with low to moderate flow

*Note: Dwarf Puffers can be aggressive and nippy, so they are best kept in species-only tanks or carefully planned setups with compatible tank mates.
