The Cross River pufferfish, Tetraodon pustulatus, is a puffer endemic to the Cross River basin of Nigeria and Cameroon. It lives in the moderately fast-flowing main channels and is assessed as endangered by the IUCN. Imports are scarce and costly. Primarily a molluscivore, it can share a tank with smaller, quick, peaceful fish, but similarly sized tankmates may be bitten.
