a few months back, I took on a canthigaster solandri / jewel puffer, (he wasn't in the best environment and I am searching for someone to take him on as I believe he would be better off in a larger tank. The tank he is currently in is only apx 100litres, but, is a lot better than the one he was in).
He is a fussy eater, and the main thing he will eat is brine shrimp and some flake food.....I have tried all sorts only for him to spit it out and throw it around the tank. He has however, enjoyed eating a lot of my clean up crew: mini brittle stars, stomatella snails, limpets etc etc
Anyway, here's my predicament; he puffs up a lot! This in turn, panics me! He even puffed up today when I was nowhere near the tank and from where I was standing, (stock still), I could see nothing that would have stressed him out to do this. Is there any other reason for him to puff?
Also, we do have a love hate relationship, wherein he hates me. He will often throw himself at the glass to try and chase me off, and will grind his teeth at me, fan his tail, and generally go on the defensive. Yet other times, he'll just keep an eye on me.
Can anyone tell me if this is the norm with solandri's, or, is it just mine?
