Pea Dwarf Puffer Movie in HD, Hunting and Feeding, Carinotetraodon travancoricus

Carinotetraodon travancoricus, Originating from the inland waters of India (Kerala), Dwarf Puffers (a.k.a. "Malabar Puffers", "Dwarf Indian Puffers", "BB Puffer", "Pygmy Puffers", "Sea Frogs", "Blue-Eyed Puffers", "Bumblebee Puffers", "Pea Puffers", or "Abeni Puffers") were first seen around the mid 1990s in Europe. It wasn't until the late 1990s that they were seen more often and were available in the United States. Recently they have gained enormous popularity due to local fish stores and large chain stores like Petsmart keeping them in stock (though it seems that most Petsmart locations have stopped carrying them). Their relatively low pricing ($2.00-$5.00 U.S.) and the fact that they can be kept in smaller aquariums have definitely contributed to their popularity, with Dwarf Puffers now accounting for the majority of new pufferfish purchased by hobbyists.

These fish do not eat snail shells they pick the snail out of the shell and my puffers have eaten ramshorn snails that were as big as the body of my biggest female I feed mine live black worms every day and throw them snails about 6 a week they are also prone to internal parasites so watch their poop and treat asap

Would I be able to have these in a small tank with guppies? I have an increasing problem with small snails and am considering getting some of these as a solution

These fish run from 3 -5 $ and well worth it. They will eat up those snails... and you will love them... Its the closest you can get to any fish that looks like it come from the ocean. I recommend them I love my 3... I have mine with 2 ghost shrimp a big snail - an Angel and a school of tetras... Pea Body does chase the tetras but they havent killed any other fish. Peabody Killer Dwark and Puff The Magic fish... Yes I can tell tem apart it did take awhile.

PEOPLE! THESE ARE FRESH WATER DWARF PUFFERS.

They do NOT have beaks. They do NOT require salt. They do NOT like other fish (generally).

again these puffers do not have "beaks" like the bigger breed of puffers. therefore they do not need anything to crunch on. brine shrimp,blood worms, ghost shrimp, small snail species and guppy fry are good sources of food for these fish. no more than 5 in 5 gallons. rule of thumb with this breed is 1 gallon per fish. the larger breeds require 5 gallons per inch of fish.(i.e. the green spotted puffer grows to be 2-3" one fish would need 15 gallons. two fish would need 30).

The recommend snail size is VERY small, about the size of the puffers eye. To get snails that small you pretty much have to grow them in a separate tank. Use a piece of cucumber to attract the baby snails. Be-careful, not to overfeed them.

oh my god get off the snail kick! they dont even crunch through the shells! they suck out the soft body of the snail. if you want to wear their beaks down, live them a fresh mussel shell with a tiny bit of meat on it.

also, brine shrimp have very little nutritional value so they should only be fed as a treat.

they don't NEED snails. It is not very common for them to have their beaks get overgrown. sometimes it is easier to crush bigger snails for them to eat. mine are eating mainly live blackworms. i wouldnt feed them guppy fry or anything from outside because anything fromt he wild has a chance of introducing parasites.

Brine shrimp are good but don't wear down the teeth. Need to feed water snails from time to time.
