I have seen it twice now in the past couple days. When it happens once he is all done he just goes back to his normal energetic self, so he doesn't seem too phased. Maybe he is just stretching :)

From what I understand young puffers will puff up for practice, I've caught my late GSP do it for no reason a dozen times.
