THE HOLY GRAIL OF PUFFERS!
**Name:** Cross River Puffer
**Max Size:** Cross River Puffers are relatively small fish, reaching an adult size of about 15”.
**Water Parameters:** They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.0. The water temperature should be maintained between 75-82°F (24-28°C).
**Diet:** Cross River Puffers are carnivorous and enjoy a diet that consists of various live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, and other small aquatic invertebrates. They have beak-like teeth for cracking open shells.
**Temperament:** These puffers are generally peaceful but can sometimes exhibit territorial behavior, especially when breeding or if they feel crowded.
**Tank Setup:** It's essential to provide them with a well-decorated aquarium that includes hiding spots in the form of rocks, caves, or driftwood. A sandy substrate is preferred, as it allows them to forage for food more naturally.
**Compatibility:** Cross River Puffers can coexist with other peaceful, small to medium-sized fish that are not prone to fin-nipping. Ensure that tank mates share similar water parameter requirements.
**Behavior:** Cross River Puffers are known for their unique appearance and distinct beak-like jaws. Their inquisitive nature and the way they "inspect" objects in their environment are fascinating to observe.
**Fun Fact:** The Cross River Puffer, with its distinctive appearance and behaviors, is a captivating addition to a freshwater aquarium. Their beak-like teeth are designed for cracking open the shells of aquatic snails and other prey items, making them a fascinating predator to watch.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
