Pea Puffer

Pea Puffer – Small, Colorful, and Curious Freshwater Fish

Pea Puffers are tiny freshwater dwarf pufferfish with bright greenish-yellow bodies and expressive eyes. They are peaceful but highly curious, adding personality and activity to nano, planted, and community aquariums.

This species is hardy and beginner-friendly with proper care, though they are best kept in small groups or individually to reduce territorial behavior.
