Puffer off his time clock??

Post by yunachin »

My largest GSP Pondbottom seems to hide all day long under his rock except for feeding time while my other 2 swim around and etc.
When the lights go out he comes out and swims around all night long. Do you think he could just be nocturnal or is there something wrong? Or are my other 2 off their schedule? I had a mini-cycle a couple of days ago due to the tank change but things are stabilized now. Everyone eats and has great color, I am just confused.

He could be adjusting and stressed from the mini cycle, but puffers are known to be nocturnal. I wouldn;t worry too much.
