OMG I thought my puffer was dead!
OMG I thought my puffer was dead!
I just looked over at the tank and he was floating along the top curled in a deep 'U' shape just bobbing along with the current. I grabbed a cup and scooped him up and he started swimming around. Plopped him back in the tank and he's just going about his business like nothing happened. He just ate a snail. He about gave me a heart attack! What the heck?!?! tested tank tonight and it's all normal..zeros across the board except for nitrate which is about 10.

Re: OMG I thought my puffer was dead!
Probably just goofing off, relaxing in the current LOL
That will probably be the first of many heartattacks

You said your levels were all good, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just check your salinity and try not to worry too much lol.

I have a F8 as well, and I think that's how the rotten thing sleeps. She kind of drifts around slowly and not moving, letting the current push her. Scares me every. single. day. Hahaa.
