The Tetraodon mbu, often called the Mbu Puffer or giant pufferfish, is one of the most impressive freshwater fish you’ll ever see. Native to the Congo River Basin, this majestic creature can grow up to 26 inches (65 cm) long, making it a true centerpiece in any large tank setup ????
Genus: Tetraodon From Greek:
"tetra" = four / "odous" = tooth
➤ So, Tetraodon roughly means "four-toothed," referring to the distinctive dental structure of pufferfish — they have four large fused teeth (two on the top, two on the bottom) that form a sharp beak.
Species: mbu
➤ "Mbu" comes from a local African name, most likely from a native language spoken in the Congo River Basin, where this fish originates. It's believed to be the local word used by indigenous people to describe this specific large pufferfish
