When the puffer puffs~

[Chaloupa]

We have a small porcupine puffer in our FOWLR...tonight noticed a "ball" in the tank...ran around madly to find the camera....and finally just as he is starting to deflate we got a couple......I thought they were pretty interesting!http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/Chaloupa/Puffybumper.jpg

[Chaloupa]

thanks! I wish I had found the camera as soon as we saw it...but of course none of them were around (we have 5 or 6 digital cameras and do you think I could find one???) but at least we caught the last bit of this...he is swimming around just like normal now!

What made him puff up?

[Chad Vossen]

if you poke him or even grab him, he should puff up. just make absolutly sure he doesnt suck in air. and i dont recommend making them puff up either.

nice shots! I've seen my green spotted puffers puff up... sometimes they will do it just for practice... if i only had room to setup for a puffer tank...

Glad you snapped the pic just in time. They always smile even when they are mad.
