How to keep a bored Ceylon puffer entertained
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any success in keeping a bored puffer entertained. I just got a Ceylon puffer last week and he is glass surfing like a crazy guy! I also have a Fahaka and never had this issue with him. My Ceylon is in a very large tank ( I would have to ask my husband on the exact size lol) he is eating normal , and he stops glass surfing as soon as he sees me. As much as I would love to sit with my handsome guy all day I unfortunately cannot lol Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by Rupert and I.

Heavy decor is the best way to stop glass-surfing.

Thank you , I just added more plants and my husband put a PVC pipe in there a little bit ago. Tomorrow I'm going to get him some ghost shrimp to keep him busy (Frank Fahaka like to chase them too) He has still been glass surfing literally all day , I'm actually wondering if he will just tire himself lol But if he sees me and I stop he stops being a neurotic bored weirdo. He obviously doesn't care that I have to finish cleaning

Re: How to keep a bored Ceylon puffer entertained
Also this is the most wonderful group ever ! I've learned so much today about Puffers that I didn't know. and my husband is the fish guy he worked in a fish store for years when he was younger so I'm fairly educated on them, we also had a Flowerhorn who sadly passed away recently. But I've enjoyed reading about everyone's Puffers today All you guys rock !

I always wanted a flowerhorn! Are you keeping your Ceylon in a BW tank?
