My grumpy puffer :X

Post by Tim »

So yesterday I added a new "friend" to the aquarium for my puffer to "play" with.

Victim I dubbed Bob.

The coral banded shrimp has basicly taken over the battleship as his hideout and the puffer is going around pouting and generally being unhappy about it :lol:
Not really the outcome I was expecting.

on a side note I think my puffer has a multiple personality disorder :shock: . Most days he is happily swimming around begging for food etc and once in a while he is scared of everything :(

Yesterday Bacon decided she was going to be grumpy and stay in the top left corner of the tank.

He is. He actually ran off with one of the crushed trumpet snails I tossed in for the puffer :lol:

a little after the shrimp on the left had run off with a snail and the coral banded shrimp trying to intimidate the other one.

I wanna try something like this in my tank, since Bacon has let 5 out of 10 ghosts live
