Dwarf Puffer watching PC screen :)

Post by puffertt77 »

I just turned to my right to see one of my Dwarf Puffers is just sitting there dead still just staring at my PC screen. I looked at him and he turned his eye's away from the screen to look back at me and then caried on looking at the screen LOL

I often turn to the DP tank to see 3 little pairs of eye's staring straight back at me :D

I cannot wait until they're 1 inch big

Ps he's still watching the screen :D

:ROFL:
They are cute little fishies. I am used to getting stared down when I stand in front of my 3 X 3 tank rack. 6 of the tanks are puffer tanks (earlier 7 of the tanks). At the most I've been stared at by 9 puffers at the same time. :nervous: You almost get a little paranoid in front of it all. At least it makes me remember to feed them. :lol:

Corny, my ceylon, is about 4 feet behind me as I sit at my computer. More often than not, when I turn around to see what he's doing, he's pacing the glass back and forth looking at me - and if he's over on the other end of the tank and sees me looking his way, he dashes over to my end. He has recently started making a big splash to get my attention, the clever little guy. I sure wish I could find a suitable tankmate for him, for some mental stimulation if nothing else.

Awww they are so cute when they do that! :D

Winston has always liked watching me on the computer, I figured it was because I play WoW and he liked the moving bright pictures :D

The DPs tank is also next to Joeri's PC and there is one little female who is always watching the screen :D

We always joke that they sneak onto the computer when we're asleep :redface:

My F8 tank is being kept in the bathroom (I don't want to stress the puffers out by driving them 3 1/2 hours back home, so they're at my boyfriend's). It's the weirdest thing to see two puffers staring at you when you're using the toilet. Now that's weird.

Have 2 tanks in the bedroom- both face the TV. So when I am watching TV before bed, so are Bud, Junior and Hoover (2GSP and 1 Congo). Hoover will actually move on top of tubing to lay there and watch the TV.

I have two tanks in the bedroom (one awaiting a puffer and has mollies in it). In the small tank next to my bed, about 5 inches from my head, is a Turgdis named Leon, and he is trained to the sound of my alarm clock. When it goes off, he comes to the glass and stares at us, waits for me to touch the glass. Once I do he swims one lap across the tank front and then goes zooming back in to his cave and waits for breakfast. At night he sits at the mouth of the cave and will watch the movement of the TV is we watch a movie...

Just TPF on the screen, he either likes watching the screen change as I flick through threads or maybe he watches the mouse/arrow moving round :D

As a side note, I was saying hi to Squirt tonight at feeding time and saw him do a dwarf puffer "yawn". :)
