When the puffer PUFFS....
 

You can see our tank from our living room....so as I am watching TV I look over and think what the f**k is that in the tank...figure out it's "Bumper" our porcupine puffer and he is PUFFED! So we run around, of course we can't find any of the 4 digitals in the house, finally find one (after much swearing and running around like chickens with our heads cut off!!!) and get a few pics as he is starting to deflate...holy was that cool!!!!

hey that's pretty cool. Any idea what freaked him out enough to puff?

no clue...no new fish, he's well fed...and the Copperband and Angel were the only fish close to him....he doesn't like the Rabbit and it doesn't like him but it was on the other side of the tank...WEIRD but cool!

Absolutely cool. :biggrin:

Awesome.. that's one nice puffer ya got :)

Makes me want to get a puffer now - that is so cool.

Great looking Porky, Sarah!!

THANKS guys! He is pretty cool! A bit more aggressive than I thought he would be, but regardless he's cool!

they may inflate without a stressor as well, I wouldn't worry too much about it. He looks great!

hehe, cute....our guy did that too after we moved him into a new tank:
