The Puffer Forum

Hey guys

Does anyone have a pic of a Mbu Puffing up?

If you have a pic can I please see it?

Don't go poking your Mbu trying to get him to puff though

Thanks

There was a video showing an African otter playing with a puffed up T. mbu.
Maybe this video still is on the net. I don't have a link, though.

I found the video on youtube. Its so cool!
The shallow waters make me want to catch one for a pet. =(

That's a cool vid

Nice to see them in the wild and together!

That video was way too stressful for me... my thoughts as i watched were:

1 - aaaah look at the cute mbu's in the wild
2 - woah thats some impressive puffing
3 - noooo! he's floating! he must have puffed full of air! What if he can't unpuff????
4 - phew, its ok, he deflated

My mbu never puffed like that and I'm glad! I don't think I could have stood the stress!!

You'll have to keep a camera next to the tank

my camera was literally 10 feet away by the time i ran over and turned it on she was back to normal and resting on the bottom. was amazing though
