maybe it's something in the air, the christmas excitment or something.. ??????

because for two days in a row Stars was doing the same thing... he'd deflate, then re inflate then deflate again, only to do it all again half an hour later...

he's not puffed since a few days after i got him, then suddenly for that two days every time i looked at him he puffed! I got really worried, because puffing to me can indicate ill health, and he kept doing it..

but he seems to have settled again now and has been back to his usual cruising for the last week..

They are odd realy, aren't they. :-)

when it worked he went back to his normal size.

Maybe there's really something in the air. I saw sushi partially puffed 2 nights ago, when he was introduced to mysis shrimp for the first time. For the first few bites he made, he swallowed water along with the food apparently, so he puffed up partially. I was so appalled I didn't even dash for the camera! I've never seen him puff.
