Congo puffers grow to about 15  cm long. ref cite web url http fishbase.org Summary speciesSummary.php?ID 10104&genusname Tetrodon&speciesname miurus title Tetraodon miurus accessdate last first coauthors date publisher FishBase ref In the wild, they feed mainly on fish, but in captivity they will happily eat different foods, such as Chironomidae Behavior and description bloodworms and river shrimp . They are inactive fish, spending most of their time buried in sand or other substrate, with the ability to adapt their colouration to hide from potential prey. However, there are many colour variations within the species, ranging from black to sandy to bright red. This puffer has the ability to change coloring to match the substrate it lives in. It will not change to blue for example, but if in a dark substrate will generally become darker in color. If introduced into estabilshed aquarium with bigger fish such as angels and provided with a healthy supply of live foods to eat, it will live happily with other tank mates. Like all members of the Tetraodon family, the Congo puffer is capable of inflating itself with water or air when stressed or otherwise frightened. In captivity, Congo puffers require at least a 30 US gallon tank with the temperature between 23 and 26 C. They are sensitive to both nitrites and nitrates , so overfiltration is required.

    Taxobox name Congo Martin status LC status system IUCN3.1 regnum Animal ia phylum Chordate Chordata classis Bird Aves ordo passerine Passeriformes familia swallow Hirundinidae genus Riparia species R. congica binomial Riparia congica binomial authority Anton Reichenow Reichenow , 1887 The Congo Martin or Congo Sand Martin , Riparia congica , is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. It occurs only along the Congo River and its tributary, the Ubangi River Ubangi . It is fairly abundant within its restricted range. The habitat requirement of this bird migration non migratory species is forested rivers with sandbanks for breeding. The Congo Martin nests in colonies in February and March, with each pair excavating a tunnel in a sandbank about 1 m above the river. The nest itself is at the end of the tunnel. Little is known of the breeding biology, although it is probably similar to that of the Sand Martin . Description The 11  cm long Congo Martin is light brown above with a slightly darker crown and wings. It has a dark line through the eye. The underside of the body is white except for a pale brown breast. It does not have the distinct narrow breast band shown by the Sand Martin. The bill is black and the legs are brown. Sexes are similar, but the young have pale tips to the feathers on the back, rump and wings. The call has not been recorded. Although the indistinct breast band of the Congo Martin is different from the clearly defined markings of the Sand Martin, in practice it is not easy to distinguish the resident species from the winter migrant. Behaviour The food of this species consists of small insect s, such as gnats and other flies, caught on the wing over the river or in clearings and other open areas within a few miles of it. It feeds in small flocks or with other swallows, especially wintering Sand Martins.
