other than feeding them...
mine really seem to LOVE when i do a water change. they get really bright and are very active and they roam all over the tank.

They like me not watching them.
They're little voyeurs and will watch everything I do intently, but when I look up, they will turn away "O, what an interesting leaf. It looks alot like the one I slept on last night. Let me stare at it til you go back to your homework"

My puffers like when I turn their lights out but leave the room lights on.

As with most others...feeding time! One of my F8s hogs the food put in and then when I try to put more in a different area for the second puffer, he flies off to that as well
It's definately the most smiley puffer I have ever seen

yeah, that's weird, every time I up the SG on my tank, Bonzo seems to swim right in to the flow of the water I'm pouring in to the tank, even though the SG of the water going in is quite high (it does even out as it circulates though) he gets all excited, well it looks like excitement to me LOL

thats exactly what both of my puffers did! i definately did not look like they were distressed or anything. their colors got super bright; bellies were so white and clean. the fade from green to white go super light. then they spent the next couple of hours buzzing all over their tanks like everything was shiny and new!
also, my puffs like to "find" snails. i hide them in nooks and crannies and such. granted they always crawl away, but the puffs have fun looking around their tank for snacks

They like when I keep out of their tanks unless delivering food.

Mine loves it when i do naked water changes, seriously. I don't know if he is thinking FOOD, but let me tell you, he would definitely be biting off more than he could chew!!!

I don't do naked water changes, but he seems to react differently when I put my dressing gown on or take it off... like he's thinking... "you freak, why are you taking your skin off and then putting a different one back one... you nut job"

Just to clarify, it's not some fetish thing. I just do most of my water changes after i have had a shower.
