The Red Miurus Puffer, also known as the “Irontail Puffer” or “Red Congo Puffer,” is a unique freshwater puffer fish known for its striking red coloration and quirky, aggressive personality. Native to African rivers, it’s an ambush predator that spends much of its time buried in the substrate, waiting to strike at prey. This puffer needs a well-maintained, spacious tank with a soft substrate and ample hiding spots. They are best kept alone due to their solitary nature and territorial behavior. #

Have you heard of the Congo puffer? 🐡 Maybe not if you're usually a salt water diver... They're a fascinating freshwater version of a pufferfish, found in the Congo River Basin, Africa. 🏞️ They bury themselves in the substrate to surprise their prey. 👻 They can blend in with their surroundings, becoming green, brown, and even red. 👀 📹 @tk.aquatics | Diving Adelaide & Online Dive Gear

The freshwater counterparts to a well-known saltwater fish are just as wild! 🐡 While pufferfish are often associated with their unique defensive adaptations, Congo river puffers will also go on the offense. An ambush predator, this puffer will sit still on rock ledges or bury itself in the substrate. They can even change coloration to camouflage! When an unsuspecting fish swims by, the puffer springs from its hiding place to catch the prey in its beak. | Shedd Aquarium

The Spotted Congo Puffer is known from Pool Malebo (formerly Stanley Pool), a lake-like widening in the lower reaches of the Congo River system in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This softwater fish is a real character but as with all puffers, may nip inappropriate tankmates. Give this species a well-furnished aquarium and excellent water quality.
