It seems like a lot of puffers don't like us seeing them puff. That's my experience as well. I saw my palembang puff once. I came into my bedroom, and in her tank, it looked like one of Kaisa's toy balls was floating around. I got really scared, as it was the first time I saw one of my puffers puff. As soon as she saw me, she deflated, and then pretended she had done nothing at all. Nooo thing...

It *might* explain why he looks puffed up

lol theyre so good at looking innocent!
They're good with mood swings too.
Mine grumps around behind the filter output all day because of a curious clearner shrimp that wants to touch/feel/clean him when he comes near(He does the same thing with my hand when it comes close). Wondering if I should just return the cleaner shrimp or wait for the puffer to stop throwing a hissyfit and man up.

My Turgdis has an attitude problem and puffs at anything and everything. Nothing drive him to it, he just gets a wild spur in his saddle and *poof* he's the size of a baseball!

No wonder we love puffers so much!
