Miurus Puffer

Tetraodon Miurus
Pretty standard water conditions, max size of 6". Very fun one to keep. Also known as congo puffer. Personally I would get a red variety of miurus puffer. Best kept alone. Feeds primarily on other fish, unlike most puffers that will eat snails, and crustaceans. Freshwater only. Needs a gravel or sand to bury itself in.

You can feed them on standard puffer foods - prawn, mussel etc. I found a good way to feed them was to put the food onto a bent out paperclip so they can attack from below as they would in the wild. Here's a picture if that doesn't make any sense.
The blue is the bent out paperclip.
Awesome fish, keep them on sand so they'll bury. Also the colour of the sand will affect the fishes colour to an extent.
