Pao Palembangensis – The Humpback Puffer

Due to the large adult size and territorial nature of the Humpback Puffer, they should be maintained in spacious aquaria. Plenty of visual barriers and shady hiding spots should be made available. Lighting should not be too bright, and the substrate should be smooth because of the puffers will spend the majority of their time laying on it virtually motionless.

Description

Pao Palembangensis – The Humpback Puffer

Puffer fish are so called as they have the ability to inflate their elastic stomachs with water or air. This is usually a response to some kind of threat, although in the aquarium many specimens appear to inflate themselves for no apparent reason. The fish becomes 2 or 3 times it’s normal size, which makes the fish both big enough to scare away many potential predators, and difficult to swallow.
