Hi guys, i am new to puffers, i had snakeheads, clown knifes..before
i went to my LFS today i just bought 4 tetraodon suvattii
not 100% sure, they are around 2 cm long...too small,
i will try my best to post some pictures of them later,
do they grow fast? what should i know about them?
how much do they go for usually?...( just wondering if i got ripped) lol
Thank you guys
 
Rule #1; research 1st, fish purchase 2nd.....GL with the fish though.
 
How big is the tank you have them in? coz although they may not grow extremely fast, they do get to a reasonable size... also, as with any puffer, they can be very aggressive to each other as well as other fish since they are piscivores...

Either way, some pictures would help, since they could always be one of the other lurker puffers such as a palembangesis which look kinda similar...
 
They will take chunks out of fish twice their size and probably each other. Although I've heard some people have success keeping more than one together.
 
I have heard ot juvies tearing each other apart. I have also heard of them getting alonhg with a TON of decor with broken lines of sight & many caves available for territories.
