Información del producto

🐟 Target Puffer – (Pao leiurus) – Freshwater Pufferfish with Unique Markings for Sale

The Target Puffer (Pao leiurus) is a fascinating freshwater pufferfish recognized for its distinct circular “target” patterns along its body. Native to rivers, lakes, and floodplains across Southeast Asia, this species is intelligent, curious, and highly interactive with its owner. Like other puffers, it has a beak-like mouth for cracking open shells and a personality that makes it feel more like a pet than just a display fish. While not suitable for community tanks due to its territorial nature, the Target Puffer thrives in a well-maintained species-only aquarium.
