Figure 8 Puffer Making little Noises?

Post by Lost&Found »

Hi! I’m pretty sure my F8 Puffer has been making little noises? Sounds almost like he’s crunching a snail, but I he definitely isn’t. It’s also a little higher pitched I think. I keep trying to catch him making the noise but it’s so quick i haven’t been able to :lol: has anyone else heard this or know what he’s up to?

You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I grind my teeth for no reason.
