Quick arrival. We did have 1 DOA, sometimes things happen, but they fixed it for me immediately after I notified them. Good customer service. I'll order from them again

Meet the Mighty Dwarf Pea Puffer – Tiny, Intelligent, and Full of Personality!

Looking to add a bold personality and endless fascination to your freshwater aquarium? The Dwarf Pea Puffer is a captivating choice! These pint-sized predators pack a ton of charm, perfect for nano tanks and planted setups with the right care and consideration.
Key Features:
Small But Fierce: Dwarf Pea Puffers may only reach about 1 inch in size, but they’re bursting with curiosity and confidence. Their expressive eyes and quirky behavior make them one of the most engaging nano species available.
Big Personality: Unlike typical schooling fish, Pea Puffers are highly intelligent and interactive. Watch them patrol their territory, investigate tank decor, and even recognize their keeper at feeding time.
Solo or Small Groups: While some Pea Puffers can be kept in small groups (with caution and plenty of space), many thrive solo. If keeping more than one, provide ample hiding spots and monitor for any signs of aggression.
Perfect for Planted Aquariums: These puffers love complex environments. A heavily planted tank with driftwood, caves, and line-of-sight breaks keeps them enriched and engaged while highlighting their golden-green coloration and vibrant eyes.
Snail Control Experts: Got a pest snail problem? Pea Puffers are natural snail hunters! They’re well-known for controlling small snail populations—an added bonus for aquascapers.
Species-Only Recommended: Due to their feisty nature and tendency to nip, Dwarf Pea Puffers are best kept either alone or in a carefully planned species-only setup. They don’t mix well with most community fish.
Feeding Variety: These puffers prefer a protein-rich diet and do best with live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and snails. Their hunting instincts make mealtime fun to watch!
Add a spark of intelligence and attitude to your aquascape. Whether you're a seasoned aquarist or diving into nano fishkeeping, Dwarf Pea Puffers are unforgettable fish with a whole lot of heart in a tiny package.

My pea puffer is the cutest! He came in healthy and full of energy.
Love it
I want to leave an honest review. First time I ordered, I had ordered 1 puffer and maybe a little over 20 shrimp but didn’t pay the over night shipping because I didn’t know it was mandatory if you buy fish.. they all arrived in the same box, my shrimps arrived in perfect condition with oxygen still in the bag but the puffer in a separate bag no oxygen.. and of course dead. However I then placed this order for 3 puffers and paid $50 for overnight shipping & besides taking about 2 weeks to ship my order, it arrived at 8 PM and the puffers were alive. I honestly think the first puffer was intentionally shipped without oxygen in the bag. Besides that, I love the puffers I received with this order, sad they force the $50 shipping onto you
Very smooth delivery, she’s so adorable and always curious, she showed up very healthy!❤️ Thank you so much
This puffer was so small that I didnt see it at 1st, I think he was eaten by one of my tetras or swordtails, all my other fish are small. After a few days he came out of hiding, he is so cool, sorry I couldn't get better video.
Lil fella arrived in good shape
Every experience I've had with shrimp up aquatics has been amazing and I love shopping from them for most all shrimp I get for my aquariums and recommending them for my friends aquariums as well.
He arrived on time and has been an incredible addition to my aquarium! Every experience I've had with this store has been amazing.
The puffer got home alive and I was really happy with it the only thing is that the bag it came in had a couple planeria and I had specifically ordered online specifically because I didn’t want it to have planeria since my local Petco has really pretty fish but they always have planaria and I have shrimp in my tanks. I also ordered some celestial danios and a couple extra fish. was really happy with them and I also got some shrimp
Unfortunately my puffer came DOA. Customer service was friendly and gave me store credit to use to order another fish. I’m hoping the next ones come safe and sound

Super cute- came alive and still are thriving
Arrived in great condition
My Little puffer seems to be doing good haven't had no problems at all so far.I love it, it's a beautiful fish.Thank you very much
I have been wondering how they were myself, cause I hadnt seen them much. But just this morning they both showed up and look well. I am pleased. I have been adding little blatter snails to the tank. Hadnt seen them eat any yet.
Fish arrived on time and healthy and are a great addition to the tank
The group were a little aggressive towards a couple of the pea puffers during shipping and I think they maybe ate each other?.. But 6 of the 8 seem to be doing well. Thank you!
Perfect customer service.
Beyond cute, can't wait to see him grow
