Anyone had any mekongs here curious about any thoughts just picked one up at my LFS and seems pretty cool also read they have very big appitites so I have put him in my 50 gl sump for my 110 two nights now and seems good moving around at times. Another question what may be choices for food so far doing bloodworms read about shrimp and mussels going mon to a fish market to maybe get sum fresh shrimp and mussels any guidance is appreciated.

Tetraodon suvattii is usually called the Arrowhead puffer. Grows to about 6". Pretty nasty temperment and an ambush predator. Common habits is to lie buried in the substrate and rip at whatever swims over. One of the main puffer species recommended for a species tank since both small and large tankmates are at risk of being either directly eaten or suffer major wounds from even test bites from this puffer.
 
Thanks for your response I read quite a bit on them and I just didn't want to misspell suvatti which believe I just did lol but I'm looking for some personal exp how they have been for others in there aquariums but again thank you

^ the meakong puffer aka Palembang puffer is a freshwater species...

But just like the suvatti puffer pictured in the OP's post, they are a lurker species which BARELY moves...

Pretty much like owning a pet rock...
