I have had a pea puffer for 2 years in a 5.5 gal tank of male guppies. Heavily planted with enough ramshorn snails. 'Puffy' has taught me WHAT he wants. #1 He eats the snail eggs and newly hatched snails. #2 When the elder snails die off, he comes to the glass and lets me know to add more adults to lay those eggs.#3 I have never seen him eat an adult snail. He gets mad at the occasional one that he suspects is not laying enough eggs and PUSHES the snail over. That's all. CONCLUSION - there is a wonderful BALANCE in this tank due to the snails constantly cleaning while Puffy keeps them from over-populating. TWO YEARS of this now. I LOVE it!!!!!!😊😊😊
Sounds like he’s having a blast with all those snails and eggs 😂
Haha, yes it certainly is a balance to maintain, lol. @@Fishkeepingmadeeasy
I love these little guys
Awesome care video! Pea puffers are adorable!
Thank you! 🙌
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy put them with a fuellborni ob male and femal will keep then inline and they will be put in there place thats what i would do
Thanks dude my pufferfish happy now.
Great video
Wow this is an excellent care video! You've got yourself a new subscriber! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Well I unsubbed when you subbed, so did he rally gain anything?
@@bojohannesen4352 what 4 years ago? 😂 There is no need to leave negative comments
@@MHAquaticsUK There is no need not to either
Cute!
Obvs 😂
I feed them live bloodworms and so funny to watch them slurp them in like spaghetti
Haha! It is very funny to watch! Mines go nuts for the live ones!
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy I just fed them for today and they ate them all... Goby's too are so cute and fun to watch when hunting the worms... I just don't know if I have to feed my 7 samurai puffers once every day?
@@juli8vdberg562 You've probably sorted this by now but you should look up youtube videos on how to culture different kinds of foods for pea puffers (e.g. breeding pond snails on purpose, daphnia, etc.)
@@BoundlessEyes I have 9 and give them same frozen worm tablets every 2 days...
Hi from Singapore.Subbed!
👋 🏴
thank you for the informative video, I'm looking forward to starting up a nano pea puffer tank :)
DOWNSTAIRS AQUARIUM thank you! Let us know how it goes when you set it up!
Defo interested in potential housemates I know ottos are supposed to be good but didn't know of any other. I've only got a 30l nano I was planning for a single one of these as I don't know if I could add more or add some dither fish like chilli rasbora. Would be filtered by Hamburg matten filter. Thanks for the video
Yeah chilli Rasboras or any hind of Rasboras would be ideal. Yes Ottos would also be good!
Like your content buddy. I'm starting up my own channel very soon and you've inspired one of my tanks.
That’s amazing to hear! Good luck and send us your first video! 👌
Will do. Thank you. Hope you have a great day.
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy My first video is live now if you would be so kind and give it a watch I'd really appreciate it. Thanks 😊
NEW SUB HERE...thanks for the info... I have just received 5 dwarf murder beans..✌
Awesome!
Can u keep with gouramis
I might get some
Definitely recommend them 👍
Ya they’re amazing
Hi there! I am considering potentially starting a new set up for pea puffers, if my current community tank is not ideal for them.
I was wanting to get your insight if I could!
My current community tank is a 20 gallon with water parameters matching their needs, but their tank mates would be one bristlenose pleco and 2 upsidedown catfish. (I have not been able to find a third to complete the school in the last 3 years.)
Would pea puffers leave the unmoving fish alone? Or are they likely to nibble on the bristlenose and catfish, even if they are well fed?
I’d be more concerned the upside down catfish eat the pea puffers but I think you’ll be fine
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy They tend to keep to themselves and eat wafers. They don’t eat the ghost shrimp so we are good!
hi, good video! can I keep them with gold barbs? and if so.. what size tank? thanks
It would maybe be a risk so you’d have to keep an eye on them. Something larger like a 100 litres as Gold Barbs can grow to almost 10cm but they tend to be pretty placid, just provide loads of hiding spots for the puffers and make sure they get feed as the baths are quick and very greedy
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy Ok, thanks for the quick response!
I subbed
Thank you!
Hi! Can I put them with Amano shrimp?
Personally I have and it was fine but always keep an eye out as it could still be risky 👍
You think is à bad idea to put one puffer with my neons and corydoras ?
If the tank is large enough and the puffer has some areas to hide it should be fine 👍
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy Merci
Can u keep them.with loaches and lilly fish? And pelcos
Loaches and plecos will be fine! Lily fish as in a Lily Gourami?
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy oops sorry grrr keybord was ment to say killie fish? I have killie fish along with loaches and a dojo loach. The killies stay at the top inless there breeding then there at or in plants
@@jessicacarrasco4892 haha! That’s alright 😂 I’m not too sure how well they would go with killie fish too be honest, would also depend on the species and if it’s peaceful or not. If you have a spare tank you could put the puffer in you could give it a go. The issue would be the puffer constantly harassing the killifish or vice Versa. Each individual Puffers and killifish have different personalities. These puffers in the video shredded a guppy tail so this could also happen to the Killiefish. Whereas I had a puffer who couldn’t care less about the Corys and tetra in its tank
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy so far I have 4 they are the golden ones they seem fine with any fish as long as they are not small and they cant eat. They do love to eat guppies found that out after all my guppies were gone from.the tank
I personally don't experience any issues between my male puffer and male betta, the puffer generally avoids the betta
Yes, I have 3 pea puffers in with a betta, and they leave each other alone. I just keep them well fed and stimulated. And lots of plants for them to feel secure definitely helps!
So 3 in a 37.5l Heavily planted tank is a no go?
Three is just an awkward number when it comes to fish but in a heavily planted tank you should be okay! Just keep an eye out that no one is getting bullied!
Great stuff, and will do.
I think 3 does help with aggression, because you don't want one to constantly bully the other.
@@TDV1 yeah it does but if two pair up and breed the 3rd one will end up getting abused. It happened with my geophagus but you’ll be fine with the puffers! If you can id get more! In my opinion you could have about 6 in that size tank. Just don’t over feed and make sure water changes are done. Always the more the merrier with these nano fish! 👍
@@Fishkeepingmadeeasy Oh ok yeah i'll definitely take your word for it.
So yeah great, more than 3 for sure. Because a big problem is you can't sex them at the store, because they sell juveniles.So 6 would give a good M to F ratio.
I'll keep checking their bellies to avoid overfeeding.I use a python due to having a few tanks, water changes are a breeze.
Thanks for the advice!!
No problem! Good luck and let us know how you get on with them 👍
12 gallons are nano tanks now?
Depends on your perception of size 🤷🏻♂️
Such a beautiful fish but I wouldn't recommend others buying this fish, just saying since its officially *endangered* now.
Visiting Kerala a few months ago I was told by locals that the fish is going into decline but the authorities are keeping the news quiet because of its success in the aquarium trade. Other species are also in danger in that area of India but yeah :( Hope people can get some more breeding done with them.
Just keep that in mind before you buy these little guys.
