Información del producto

🐡 Humpback Puffer / King Kong Puffer – Tetraodon palembangensis

The Humpback Puffer, also known as the King Kong Puffer, is a rare, highly territorial freshwater pufferfish with a distinct humped back and cryptic mottled pattern. Native to Southeast Asia, this ambush predator spends much of its time lying motionless, blending into its surroundings before striking at prey.
