Not really seen him do it for more than a couple of seconds since. My dps just dont seem to stop to sleep at all

My DP sleeps all the time, at least it seems that way. he gets up in between the plastic plants and wedges himself in and goes to sleep. I can always tell when he's been asleep too, his mouth gets a dark ring round it. They are too cute when they sleep.

I dont know if i should have posted this somewhere else but one of my puffers always sleeps at the top back corner of the tank floating. is that normal?

For puffers to sleep floating on the top is not normal. It usually mean something is wrong. Wrong temp or insufficient dissolved o2 perhaps.. But wait for other more experienced keeper. They are usually wedged somewhere in decorations, rocks, driftwood or some plants or at the sand bed.

After his meal Pig went missing. After some thorough searching he was relaxing with his head on a shell tugged away between a lot of anubias. His colors go very flat when he is sleeping, it used to worry me but as soon as he wakes up his spots go dark, his green becomes brighter and the yellow spot on his head returns.

The blurs in the front are a heater and a piece of wood, I could only see him through that tiny hole at the side of the tank which shows how well hidden he was

That will be because it is a Green Spotted Puffer and not a Dwarf Puffer.
