Fahaka Puffer Breeding?
Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2016 9:28 pm
I have had puffers in the past and obtained 3 fahaka puffers from my lfs 3 months ago. Two are about the same size and then the last one is probably twice the size of the other two. It is very much rounder than the two smaller ones as well. This bigger, rounder one has been acting weird when I noticed it staying at the bottom. I was fearing disease or depression and have been keeping a closer eye on it and noticed that one of the smaller ones keeps laying on top of the big one which is at the bottom.
So, the bigger one is doing every thing it was doing before, just looking kind of lazy nowadays and just stays at the bottom if it isn't looking for food. The thing is, one of the smaller ones is staying at top of the bigger one. Looking like it is just laying on top of the bigger one.
I do not think they are breeding although the smaller one is being very territorial as to lash out at the other smaller one when it gets close to these two. Also, I am assuming the other one is lashing out at the bigger one when they are all on the hunt, basically making the bigger one flee to the other side of the tank when they hunt the ghost shrimp when I feed them.
Any idea on what is going on with these three and why the two are laying with each other?
