Descripción de la especie
Takifugu flavidus is a Tetraodontidae from coasts & rivers of E China. Its beak never stops growing — hard-shelled prey is not a treat but maintenance. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 26.2–38.5 cm. Singly; even pairs argue over prime territory. Offer snails routinely, keep water pristine, and choose tankmates (if any) larger than its interest. Maintain 24–28 °C at pH 7.5–8.5. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
