Percy colour changing

Post by Puff8 »

This is my abei puffer hunting and changing colour from cream to black to hunt and then once he's caught the shrimp he turns back to cream again. didnt realise my other half had this vid and thought id share ( please note this was taken in his old biorb he now has a much larger tank)

haha yeah the video was longer and you see him go back to cream with black freckles but I couldnt upload all of it :(

His freckles change all the time too , freckley if he sees someone he recognises then turns plain cream if he's a bit unsure who it is

Glad you like it :)
