The Puffer Forum

I walked past my marine tank just now and everyone came to see me as usual! except this is what stripes looked like!

OMG! When Elvis did that to me, I laughed so hard I almost couldn't get a picture taken. Of course it was after my inital shock! He looks huge!

i made a grab for the camera convinced he would have deflated by the time i turned it on, but no he just bobbled over tho the glass to see me. i have no idea why he did it, and seems fine again now. Scared the life out the other fish in the tank they have only just stopped hiding lol

Awesome!

How did you keep from falling to the floor laughing?

i had a one track mind to get my camera! but he did look very funny!

They always look so silly puffed like that!

That is a pretty amazing puff shot.

puffer of the month pic for sure!

Thank you!

maybe it's something in the air, the christmas excitment or something.. ??????

because for two days in a row Stars was doing the same thing... he'd deflate, then re inflate then deflate again, only to do it all again half an hour later...

he's not puffed since a few days after i got him, then suddenly for that two days every time i looked at him he puffed! I got really worried, because puffing to me can indicate ill health, and he kept doing it..

but he seems to have settled again now and has been back to his usual cruising for the last week..

They are odd realy, aren't they.

Ha! Nice!

He was probably wondering where HIS christmas present was!

Almost like he wanted your attention.

"HEY! LOOK AT ME!!"

when it worked he went back to his normal size.

He's so funny! Great shot and good job not falling over!

Maybe there's really something in the air. I saw sushi partially puffed 2 nights ago, when he was introduced to mysis shrimp for the first time. For the first few bites he made, he swallowed water along with the food apparently, so he puffed up partially. I was so appalled I didn't even dash for the camera! I've never seen him puff.
