I've seen my GSP do it for no apparent reason other than to try it. He is still a juvinile though.

All puffers can and will puff if scared. Some will do it just because. My fahaka never has nor has my abei. But I have watched my GSP do it for no reason

All puffers do "practice" puffing, especially when young and growing. Adults do so much less often. It is not often seen, as we don't sit and watch our tanks 24/7. It people are visible, they are less likely to practice puff - they are usually more interested in the possibility of food from humans that in testing their own equipment. It is full normal behavior.

I walked in on Ares puffed one time...it scared the walrus out of me!!!! It was before his lights came on. Manson puffs ALL THE TIME. I can't figure out why. His params are good, he is healthy and there is no reason for him to be stressed...he is really weird. He seems to have an angry attitude problem and only seems happy when he bubbles his butt on his airstone...he is VERY strange!
