They call them “Murder beans” for a reason.Pea puffer. The tiniest of creatures terrorized fish orders of magnitude larger than itself…
To add to that, after several years together, and numerous spawns, one day she decided that the male carpintis, who was a fair bit larger, had to go, and she tore him up so bad that he couldn’t recover, and a few days later died. She currently is going through some health issues, but still eating, and still bossing around the loaches at feeding times.I have a female parrot cross that looks a lot like this fish, and she can be hyper aggro at times. Damn near killed an adult male carpintis when they first paired off, then settled down over time. They have bred numerous times, but I let the loaches eat the eggs or any fry that survive.
