Re: puffer puffing
There are several pics here of folks puffer's puffing, including last month's Pufer of the Month winner.
Please do not double post in different forums. I deleted the other one, it gets confusing.

I caught Shelby puffing (my avatar and last months PoTM)
It's just for practice, IME marine puffers practice much much more than FW or BW puffers.

Re: puffer puffing
Yes, they do puff sometimes for practice or when trying to intimidate you into feeding them.
And I agree, my freshwater/brackish puffers have only puffed when extremely scared, but Paris (burrfish) puffs from much less. A shirt color she doesn't like (reds, oranges), a stranger, a hat, my cell phone *eye roll*. The other day I walked in and she was in full puff and panicking, I haven't seen her puff in months and I think she forgot briefly how to unpuff. Once she figured it out though she was fine, I swear, I really named her well, she's just not very bright!
