− | :Asia: currently known only from the lower parts of the Banjuasin basin in Sumatra Selatan; and the Sambas river in Kalimantan Barat. | + | |sexing=:The male is substantially larger than the female and they have very different colour patterns. The female has a mottled body whereas the males body is a more solid steel grey/olive. The male has a ridge along it's back that's raised during courtship. |
− | + | |tank_compatibility=:Although one of the more peaceful of the freshwater puffers, it may still nip at other fishes fins and will be aggressive towards invertebrates. Whether a Red Eye will live with others can depend on the individual fish. | |

A well planted tank with lots of hiding places is best. This is an entirely freshwater fish, it does not need salt in it's water. |
