🐟 Spotted Congo Puffer – (Tetraodon schoutedeni) – Rare Freshwater African Puffer

The Spotted Congo Puffer (Tetraodon schoutedeni) is a rare, colorful, and personality-filled freshwater puffer from the Congo River Basin in Central Africa.

Its golden-tan body covered with dark leopard-like spots and its curious, intelligent behavior make it a highly desirable oddball species for experienced aquarists.
