Water Parameters

Dwarf puffers are quite hardy and can tolerate a variety of water conditions.  For them to be healthy and happy, though, you should try to give them the best conditions possible.  Keep in mind that Dwarf Puffers are 100% freshwater fish!  They can tolerate small increases in salinity but are at optimum health in pure freshwater.

• Temperature - While they can tolerate a broad range of temperatures, dwarf puffers seem to do best with a temperature of at least 80F (26C).

• PH - A PH of at least 7.0 is best.

• Nitrites and Ammonia - As with any fish, you want to keep these down to 0 at all times.
