Congo puffer care?

Take this with a grain of salt because I havn't personally owned one but I believe the minimum tank size I usually see for them is a 20 long.

I'm not sure where you'd find one, do you have any LFS that you could ask to order some in? If looking online you may find them on aquabid or from wet spot.

Feeding I would think the same as other puffs, things with shells to keep their beak trimmed. Snails, crayfish, crawfish, clams, etc.

Make sure you have good filtration as puffs can be a bit messy. Sand substrate. Hopefully someone with more hands on experience will come along soon

Sunday's are slow ,puffer section is slow too, what size tank were you gonna house him in? Care is pretty standard. Around 78 temp, sand, snails and shellfish are good staples- small crawdads and shrimp is good, tankmates tend to be hit and miss with all puffers.

Thanks. I have an empty 55 gallon tank. So do you think I can get 2 or three or are they too aggressive?

Puffers tend to to be very aggressive with conspecifics- I would say no. But no direct experience with this specific puffer.

I found some on wet spot but not sure how much shipping cost. Have you ever ordered any thing from there and if so how much?

For something small I usually get 35-50 shipping from them to Cali- they ship ups overnight
