Dichotomyctere erythrotaenia

The Samurai Puffer (Dichotomyctere erythrotaenia) is a colorful brackish water species found in the streams and mangrove systems of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. They are notable for their horizontal bright orange stripe. Fairly hardy, active, and outgoing, this medium-growing pufferfish species will do well with similarly sized fast moving tankmates like Scats, Monos, or Chromides. Like most pufferfish, they can be prone to nip at tankmates so they should be monitored carefully, especially when first introduced.
