Carinotetraodon lorteti

Carinotetraodon lorteti puffers are known for their distinctive red eyes and territorial behavior. They are better suited for species-specific tanks due to their aggressive nature. Despite their small size, they exhibit complex behaviors and require attentive care. Aquarists are advised to maintain a heavily planted tank with adequate hiding spots to reduce stress amongst individuals. Regular feeding of a varied diet, including snails, worms, and crustaceans, is important to meet their dietary needs. As a caution, monitoring water parameters frequently is crucial to their survival, as puffers are sensitive to poor water quality.
