Tetraodon cochinchinensis is a freshwater puffer with a personable nature, often recognized by its ability to inflate when threatened. It has a preference for densely planted aquariums offering plenty of hiding places and open swimming areas. It's crucial to maintain a high-standard and stable water quality as the species is sensitive to changes, especially in ammonia and nitrite levels.
