Arrowhead acting up. again
I took all the sand out last night and give the tank bottom a clean then added new washed sand. I think he has started getting like this again because iv'e moved the plants around. He stopped all this while i treated him for 14 days, now he looks much better but is angry again. Do you think i should get more plants for him or some wood?

Re: Arrowhead acting up. again
He's probably a little unsettled after having his tank rearranged, you got loads more going on in your tank than I have for my Congo and as they are similar I would say its not to do with amount of plants or decorations. Has he settled down yet?

Re: Arrowhead acting up. again
I think you may have an extremely nervous puffer. I have to say that buzz on the vid goes well with his fins going 100 mph sounds like a little helicopter.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Arrowhead acting up. again
Hes puffing up and acting very unusual.
Yeah he has settled down abit about 20 mins after.
Iv'e had this guy nearly a year and has never flinched at anything, i did do quite abit of work on the tank last night though. That sound is just because the air pump was on the wood floor when i shot the video mabie that set him off.

Re: Arrowhead acting up. again
He looks like he is tryin to show some aggression rather then being stressed out. Maybe unhappy with all the plants and or the airstone. I would give him alittle more room to swim. My Misery likes to swim 95% of the time and dont like to hide.

That's a very cool looking puffer you have there.

Re: Arrowhead acting up. again
See, alot of congos, arrowheads, and hairy puffer lay and wait in the sand but few just dont act like they should be either one of these. Some are extremely active like most GSP's...lol
Your arrowhead is just being a typical arrowhead.
