Little bit of Tuesday night action here. Only time the Synodontis Schoutedeni comes out when the lights on, to eat spawning Tetraodon Schoutedeni eggs. #SpottedCongo #tetraodonschoutedeni #pufferfish #wild #pets #aquarium #predators #freshwater #sony #fyp #unitedkingdom

She a chunky girl look at those hips, definitely holding eggs. Spawning is likely it’s happened many times where she’s hiding in the tank. Wild SCP age unknown. #SpottedCongo #tetraodonschoutedeni #pufferfish #wild #pets #aquarium #predators #freshwater #sony #fyp #unitedkingdom

Acquired this viewing tank used by the Japanese, should be good for being able to show growth of the pufferfish from a different perspective. Thanks to @fishtwitcher for the heads up on these. #SpottedCongo #spottedcongopuffer #tetraodonschoutedeni #pufferfish #aquarium #predators #unitedkingdom
