HELP! WONT STOP PACING

Post by aggrorollintrs »

HEY, ive got three GSPS in great health, all the parameters of the tank are within spec. And i know i need a bigger tank, this is only temporary untill i can save up money for a bigger tank. But two of my puffers wont stop pacing, they pace probably more than half the time, the other time they are exploring a little bit. Any idea what to do?

I got the tank rearranged, changed 30% of the water, adjusted the salinity, and got more plants. They seem to be liking it, check it out. Think he looks healthy?

If by pacing do you mean swimming around a lot and up at the front? if so that seems to be somthing tha all puffers do, they are very attention seeking lol.
