The Pea Puffer is the smallest pufferfish in the hobby, rarely growing past 2.5cm, but it doesn't act small. These fish track movement outside the glass, follow a finger across the tank, and investigate their surroundings with independently moving eyes.
They're a good fit for planted nano tanks and are particularly useful for keeping pest snail populations in check. Give them a heavily planted setup with plenty of hiding spots and visual breaks between territories.
