U might see your porc to puff from time to time. Porcupine puffer known for the behavior that they like to practicing puff up. I seen mine doing that couple of time already. Mine especially love to puff up when seeing me around the room on the computer and didn't give attention to him. He spit water to the tank top. if still not getting attention, he puffed.
I asked the Puffer Forum, and it's normal behavior for Porcupine puffer to puff up for attention.

Nice puff! I was looking for the ones with the tassle's, but ended up just getting a regular one super cute. My dogface and my mappa puff had both puffed up for no apparent reason, I was scared at first but now I know not to worry. As for the ich I find any fish can get it fairly easy, I had an out break from adding a peice of live rock. Just keep a qt on hand, I use cupprimine to treat all my fish, just remember to add it slow. Good luck with bumper.

Good to hear that your puffer is alright. Mine got ich twice while I am on vacation and someone look after the fish. I didn't take him out to qt tank because I read that from the pufferforum that will put more stress to the fish. What I did is just keep the water change coming more frequently, feeding with vitamins and garlic extract added to the food.. and the Puffer will recover and back to normal very fast. As long as they are happy and didn't feel stress out, you will always see the smile on their face.
Currently waiting for my 250g tank for the basement as a puffer tank. Will mixed of Green spot, dog face and a Porc.. not sure about my baby blue tang.. lol she/he so tiny and live with my porcupine right now.

thanks for the kind words everyone on the pic...he is pretty cute...and thank you Diana for the caution with ICH. We did have a bout of ich with this tank in the past, dealt with it, and have a UV sterilizer but it is not working...I think I will try harder to get it's problems dealt with so I have another means of fighting ICH on him if it comes to that! Thanks again....
and yeh they do get large Ruth but I don't think they are horribly fast growers....you see I have a method to my madness...husband fell in love with these puffers...so I bought this cute "little" fella....just wait til he finds out I need a really really big tank! ha ha ha!
