Thanks for the info and for providing it in such a direct and concise way. I am expecting my little puffers any day now. I’ve been cycling my tank for a few weeks now, and I’m super excited to get my little babies any day now!!❤🐡
I got first two pea puffers and then from another shop 3 smaller puffers. I recognized at home that the old ones look a bit different and I wanted to research this a bit if I got two different subspecies. Well... nop the first two are males and the old three are females. There was a bit of a figth bitween them (the larges bit the back of the smallest for a few sec). Thats was the only time I saw one puffed up. Now they are swining in one gropu praying for the small snails in my tank. Btw they help haveing a balanced ecosystem because they dont attack the larg snails I have only the young ones. This way the algy is eaten and I don't have an infestation. They share the tank with 1 Betta, 7 Pygmy Corydoras, 4 Kuhli Loachs, 2 Otocinclus catfishs and 2 Leopard Cactus Plecos. I see no major conflics. Sometimes the puffers are chasing eachother form time to time. Good thing is that the tank is large with lots and lots of plants and hiding spots.
Great video. I currently have 4 pea puffers in a 40-gallon tank with 7 neons, 4 small catfish, two guppies, and two dwarf African frogs. The only issue I have is with the plants and algae.
Though pea puffer is a native fish of the place where i am from, i never had a chance to keep them in an aquarium ( have them in a big water tank in our farm) Recently bought 6 of them and have them in planted tank. By far, one of my favorite fish among all nano fish. One of the strangest behavior I saw today is that they sleep by parking themselves on plants or moss with zero movement. Its literally like going into deep sleep when it's totally dark.
I think you can have more than 1 puffer per 3gallon. I had two in a ten gallon and one was very territorial. I added five more and is no longer territorial. I didnt think adding more would work but it did
Love this video! My only suggestion is to leave the captions to RUclips. Your captions are technically not accessible. They are too slow or the timing is off. If folks want accessible captions, we can just turn RUclips captions on. With your custom captions, they are now overlayed and twice as hard to read. Love the content, thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback! We added the captions because RUclips captions butchers the names of the fish (especially if in latin). We will remove them going forward and just add in the names on the side separately :)
@@aprilsaquarium I do appreciate that, and know all about your store. I just got a 50.5 gal. From April's last night! There's a couple reason. The first thing is that my wife is making me scale down the total number of tanks we have. Another is that I have a Comet Goldfish that needs a tank mate, but his current home isn't large enough. Hence the 50.5 gal in and and I'll turn his now old tank into a bigger home for our Rasbora tank. But I digress. If and when I feel that we have a good opportunity to house a Pea Puffer colony. I will come to see y'all. And the kids and I will be there to purchase more hard scape, substrate, plants, equipment and fish etc sooner than later. Thanks for the video and all the in-store assistance 😁
I have 2 pea puffers, a male and a female in a really well planted 20 gallon with male guppies, trio of mollies and the Molly babies. I've had them in this tank for about 3 or 4 months and they don't take much notice of the other fish. The hardest part is making sure they get enough to eat because they can be a little slow. I feed them frozen bloodworms and all the fish want it so I have to feed plenty so the puffers get a chance. That's the only issue.
I have a group of 8 Pea Puffers. I LOVE them. I'm still having a hard time figuring out who is female and male. Do all males get the belly stripe? I have a couple that I was sure were males because of how they behaved lol. But they have never developed the stripe. 3 have, and they're the nicest puffers in the tank😂.
How long have you had them and do you know how old they are? It took a bit for ours to clearly develop the iridescent wrinkles around the eyes for males. For me, trying to identify by stripe or yellow belly was much less defined.
@DJKuroh I got them in August, but I don't know how old they were. They were really small though. I have 3 that are definitely male. They have the stripe, the wrinkles, and they're more yellow. The other 5 I still can't be sure yet. I got them in 2 batches.
@crabbyplantqueen3310 In trying to get mine to take frozen brine and bloodworms and it is toooough. They destroy a snail in second. I love these murder beans though!

Tara's a natural! Good job on the video guys
So fun to watch!
Fun video! It’s super informative and such a natural host!
Very nice video
Very informative - I thought all puffers needed brackish water to thrive, thanks for reframing this!
So cute❤

Pea Puffers look so nice. But I cannot dedicate one whole tank to a single species at this time. I think I might try to keep some in the future tho.
If you ever decide to we sell tanks of all dimensions :)

Theyre so Curious little Creatures
Mine will go after vibrabites, but definitely not sure I'd feed it to them as their main diet.

@@DJKuroh mine like blood worms, but only a few will take brine shrimp. They annihilate snails immediately lol
are you the april's aquarium in Canada?
Yipp Beautiful British Columbia, Vancouver!
My pea puffer gets along great with my female clown killifish
What is that you are feeding them in the video?
What food did you feed Puff here in the video?
Do you think these would get along with African dwarf frogs
I would not risk it
Will a pea puffer be sad when it’s alone?
Btw good video! I am planning to get a pea puffer which is why I am asking
That fish kill and eat all my green rasboras and ambers tetras , they are carnivores 😡
Obviously. 🙄
That’s EXACTLY what she just said 😂
