About the Red Spot Puffer (Pao Abei)

name: red spot puffer (pao abei)

max size: up to 4–5 inches

water parameters: pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 74-80°F, soft to moderately hard freshwater

diet: carnivorous – feeds on snails, shrimp, mussels, earthworms, and other meaty foods; regularly offer hard-shelled foods to help naturally wear down its continuously growing teeth

temperament: aggressive and territorial; best treated as a solitary species due to its unpredictable behavior toward tank mates

tank setup: species-only aquarium with a sandy substrate, driftwood, rocks, caves, and plenty of visual barriers; strong filtration and regular water changes are important

compatibility: best kept alone; other fish may be bitten, injured, or killed even if they appear compatible initially

behavior: intelligent and highly observant predator that spends time exploring its surroundings and watching activity outside the aquarium; may quickly learn to recognize its keeper and feeding routine

fun fact: pao abei is famous for the vivid red to orange spots scattered across its darker body, creating a dramatic pattern that makes it one of the most distinctive freshwater puffers in the aquarium hobby.

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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
