Lol. That would freak me out. Is he crawling out of the filter or something?

I don't know where he gets out. he can't use the filter, and every open space around it has tape covering it. the only way he could get out is if he leaped out when I opened the lid and somehow I didn't notice. but I'm taking the more logical route... he's obviously a magical crab! :D

I guess I really do have to read every single post here. I was kinda skipping this one after the 1st page, because I thought you guys were just telling stories about your puffers puffing.

I haven't seen a DP puff but my F8 does often but only when pooping. He/She'll puff up and then out flys the poop and then he/she deflates and carries on as usual. I'd video record it but I think it's an invasion of privacy. I really should video it considering I could be ready in 2 seconds or less with my mobile phone always handy.
