The smaller puffed up into a little marble, but they continued to swim around in circles until I got my hand down in the tank and scared them off. The little one has a small scar on her side, but it's not as bad as I would have expected... They have tough skin.

I've got three females (DP on topic) at the moment. when I was feeding them crushed snails here the other day one of them bit and hold on to another for a few seconds - then the bitten one PUFFED - and the other one let go. it only lasted for five-six seconds, so my girlfriend got to se it, but when I got my videocamerea the puffing was all over. for the rest of the day the puffer who PUFFED remained shy and hid at the back of the tank behind the filter. the next day all three behaved just like normal.

so from now on, when it's feeding time, I'll always have my videocamera - ON and standby - in case it should happen again
