The pea puffer is a small freshwater fish, maxing out at about 1-1.4 inches, with a rounded body, large eyes, and a prominent beak. They are golden yellow with dark spots and can be identified by their large eyes that move independently and a beak-like mouth used for crushing snails. Though cute, they have bold, sometimes aggressive, personalities and are carnivores requiring a diet of live or frozen foods.
Breeding
To breed pea puffers, set up a heavily planted aquarium with hiding spots like java moss, which the female will use to scatter eggs. The male will then fertilize the eggs, after which they can be removed to a separate tank to hatch and be raised, or left in the heavily planted tank where some fry may survive. Feeding the adults live food like bloodworms and mosquito larvae encourages breeding.

Postage costs
All small products, plant or snail orders are $3.99 flat postage. Large products, plant or snail orders are $10.99 tracked postage.
Express is a flat $13.99 no matter the order size other than a few specific giant items (like big tanks).
Any larger tanks are a flat $39 postage. We price the tanks at the Pickup price, and postage always costs us more than $50 for them, so we have to charge a bit extra.
Live Goods and Postage
All live goods are sent with express post for a flat $13.99. Purchases for the week will be cut off SUNDAY - 8pm. All orders placed after that time may be sent on the following week.
Super Safe Postage
All parcels will have the "super safe express" postage option. It is optional, but if selected, we will go above and beyond with extra features to make sure your fish arrive safe.
These extra features (Thicker large parcels, larger and more bags, heating, extra insulation and water for each fish etc...) are expensive and not necessary for most parcels,
so we have made it optional for those who want to take the extra care. For rural locations or just if you want to make sure your fish will be extra safe it is recommended. All postage options still have the DOA guarantee however.
Pickup
Pickup is from our store located at: 153/313 Harris St, Pyrmont, Sydney, NSW. Please let us know before you come after placing your order so we can confirm it will be ready then.
Terms and Conditions
We will refund or replace any livestock that arrives DOA (Dead on Arrival) but cannot guarantee your order will arrive on time since we have no control over the postage service. If you have any issues with your order please let us know.
Enjoy!
