Here is my new valentini, he is eating well, and already showing alot of personality including something that is a little alarming to me. He puffs alot, it actually does not seem like a full blown puff, just a little bit and for like 5 seconds, is this alright or is he in trouble?

Re: new pet
Such a cute lil guy. Every time I've seen one they always seemed so pale. Your's does credit to the species.
Job 12:7-10. But ask the animals, and they will teach you; or birds of the air
and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you; or let the fish
of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the
lord has done this. In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all
mankind.

Re: new pet
He is showing his defensive 'half puff' in the second photo. I found that my valentini did this when he was threatened by something eg when i added another puffer to the tank or if he was freaked out by something eg when i did water changes.
Is there anything in the tank to scare him? Is he still doing it? They can take awhile to settle into new tanks

Re: new pet
I want a valentini so bad they are so beautiful!! I finally found one and I am so close to buying it! I have a white spotted toby and I have never seen it puff I was kinda let down since I heard they get upset when being moved and usually puff. He never has and I don't think he will he is very mellow but nothing seems to upset him. Oh well I am glad that he is happy in his home so hopefully he won't puff!
