🐟 Yellow Pea Pufferfish (Carinotetraodon travancoricus)
The World's Smallest Puffer • A Golden-Yellow Body With Dark Spots • Huge Personality in a Tiny Fish
 
📋 The Yellow Pea Pufferfish, also known as the Dwarf Puffer or Malabar Puffer, is the world's smallest pufferfish, a tiny golden-yellow jewel speckled with dark spots, with big, swivelling eyes that track everything around it. Pea-sized but full of character, it's one of the most charming fish you can keep.
It comes from the rivers and backwaters of Kerala in southwestern India. Every Yellow Pea Pufferfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a curious, intelligent micro-puffer that hovers and hunts through the plants like a tiny hummingbird, and quickly learns to recognise its keeper. It's a true freshwater puffer that needs no salt, loves small snails that keep its teeth trimmed, and thrives in a densely planted tank. It grows up to just 3.5cm, so a 40L nano tank suits it well.
