The travancoricus is a species of freshwater pufferfish, from the Carinotetraodon genus, which is endemic to Kerala (was Travancore), Southwestern India.

They are famous for their maximum known size of approximately 25mm (0.98 inches), making it the smallest known species of pufferfish in the world.

Their small size has earned this species several common names which include Pea Puffer, Pygmy Puffer, and Dwarf Puffer. 

Pea Puffers are reclusive, shade and shelter-loving creatures because they are prey animals. They're not just eaten by other bigger fish, they're also preyed upon by many piscivorous birds such as Herons, Kingfishers, and Cormorants. Your group of Pea Puffers will feel much more comfortable and secure with a provision of dense vegetation and floating plants in your aquarium, which will encourage them to be more active in all areas of the tank.

The flow in the aquarium should be slow to medium and never overpowering.

Pea Puffers are not strong swimmers, so a powerful current is not suitable.
Little known fact, Pea Puffers (like other members of Carinotetraodon) can bury themselves in the substrate when they are scared. They can nose-dive the bottom of the aquarium when they feel that they are at risk of predation and disappear into the substrate like a bullet. We have seen many Pea Puffers become injured when they attempt to do this on substrates that are too hard.
