Was he under weight at one time or something? I have seen alot of puffers under weight and dying at the lfs all the time. Dumb people starve them or just not feeding them what they eat. See it alot around all the lfs' here.

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
If you look back at the first couple of pics, he had a nasty case of IP's that too me almost a month to beat. But since then he has fattened up a lot, to much lol

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Yes, you've done a very good job on him. He is a handsome guy now.
It's hard to believe that it's the same puffer as in the first pics.

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Most Fahaka's love a cave, not Bloat, he loves to lay on one of the rocks in his tank and watch out of his one good eye what is going on outside

Easy just plug in the Iphones USB cable to your computer. Then a window will pop out, download the video.

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
DUH Ill have to get her Iphone this week and upload it.
Bloat is getting smarter with them, he nailed this one right in the middle basically paralyzing it, then went for the head. But to start he wasnt sure what to make of it since he has been getting juvi onces not full adults lol

Re: BLOAT IS HERE
Puffer can be very smart. Mainly when it comes to hunting and killing prey. It's so cool how they swim around their pret to figure out which it the best way to put them down with getting hurt.
