Ares was angry because I took everything out of his tank to give it a ghod scrub down. Don't mind the foggy water, the sand was stirred up. I promise his water doesn't look like that! I fixed his hurt feelings with a shrimp though

Huh! I didn't know that Fahaka's buried themselves - are they an ambush puffer or do they only do it when threatened?

I know that juvies often bury, but he is about 7" now. He was having a stressful day and it was way past his bedtime!

My fahaka is a good 9-10"...he buries himself every day after eating. Just 2 big eyes sticking out of the sand

It's really cool to watch them bury themselves. They take in a huge belly-full of water,..then blow 1 or 2 big puffs into the sand,...then slide right in underneath before the sand settles.

When I saw the title I was thinking "buried" in a different manner.... as in RIP Glad to see I was wrong.
Then when I was reading your post, the picture took a minute to load and the eyes in the sand looked like frog eyes to me for a minute.
He is sure cute peaking out like he is. My GSP has started puffing sand smoth before laying down for naps and bed at night..... didn't realize they did that.

Haha!!! Now that I think of it the title does sound a bit morbid!

Nice puffer! Wish I had the room(or the budget) to get a Fahaka.

I've only seen Filbert bury himself if he got spooked.

Xray, I bet you have enough sand it might do to Bloat being too fat to bury himself.....lol...jk. Sorry had to say it, it was out there and had to go in for the kill...
