The Puffer Forum

This fella puffs up at exactly the same time everyday, when he wakes up from a days snoozing ready for lunch time

WOW!!! That's an impressive puffer! Great pics. You have to enter it to the POTM! What kind of puffer is that?

Hes a arothron meleagris, he spends most the day behind the rocks, and at about 6pm give or take a few minutes he comes out and puffs up, almost like hes stretching, and then begins to dance to try and get my attention for food

That is one awesome puffer! He's huge.

I think it's funny, puff yourself up, do a little dance, get down tonight, get down tonight -- and then of course some food would be good! (think of that to KC & the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight") -- works for me!

Wow that is a great picture defiantly Puffer of the Month material. How many puffers you have in that tank with him, I see a Dog Face and I believe the tail of a Stars and Stripes?

The very second I got through the first "do a little dance", the song was playing in my head. Thanks alot.





Now I'm gonna put an infectious song in your head...

His pants are all puffed up like the fella in this thread.

Can't touch this. Stop! Hammer time.

Gosh those are funny photos!! The one where he's squeezing his eyes closed is priceless. I guess it's his way of doing a full body yawn & stretch?

wow he gets HUGE. I love the one with his eyes closed, almost as if he over puffed lol

Wonderful! Great shots!

he is so adorable! These are awesome photos

ohhh we could use more pics!! The pufferpedia is lacking in this species

Very Nicely done!!

I just have to watch those pics over and over again. How big is he?

He's about 8inches in length but almost the size of a football when inflated

I have a smaller dog-face in with him, and the other fish is a rabbit fish, my stars and stripes is in my main tank as hes too big to be in with this guy (bigger tank in order me thinks again!)

The rabbit fish is his best friend, they are joined at the hip and never leave eachothers size, they totally respect eachother at feeding time, and the rabbit fish even kisses the puffer and they lie on top of eachother at the bottom of the tank after feeding when they have a rest, its just an amazing sight, me and my partner have not a clue why they have bonded like that, its just the strangest sight!

I've got a guppy fry that somehow made it into this tank, and it has taken a Bumblebee goby as it's partner. They swim everywhere together and the male guppy clearly thinks the goby is a female, because he's always nudging her. It's funny to watch them swim together. Before my salivator puffer died, he and my Mbu were very good mates. They had been together from the start, so I do believe that some fish/puffers make friendships with other fish, crabs, whatever.

Everybody wants to be loved!

I didn't know puffers can close their eyes !
