Tetraodon duboisi is a

Stanley Pool. Some sources speculate that they are critically endangered in the wild, but that theory is difficult to verify as violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo makes it extremely difficult to capture them for the aquarium trade and scientific research.[1] However, there are a few Tetraodon Duboisi specimens owned by private aquarists in the United States. In terms of caring for the Tetraodon Duboisi in aquaria, this species does best in a pH of 7.0-7.5, and a GH of 10-20 grows. It grows to a length of 4 inches TL
and is extremely aggressive. Best kept alone in an aquarium of 30 gallons or more.
