These are the largest freshwater puffers, can reach 30" in total length. pure freshwater from Congo. They are also peaceful, I've seen them kept with Congo tetras and other small fish with no issues. They will eat snails and shrimp though. I currently have a group that I keep together and there are some other fish in there with no issues.

Tetradon schoutedni - this was an enigmatic puffer, missing for over 25 years in the hobby, until they resurfaced about 2 years ago with some regularity. Last year one was actually stolen from a pet shop due to the rarity. In all the books from the 90's, the brackish puffer tetradon nigroviridis was always pictured as schoutedni. They are currently kept together with rare nipping here and there. and this one guy in Germany actually have them paired off and breeding! These will not last

Wes, my tank runs 60-72F depending on the time of year. Is this too cold for Luteus long term? I may start upping that temp to 78-80 for a few months in the summer, but for the most part it's the ambient temp of my basement.
