The Puffer Forum

So I'm new to the saltwater and marine aquarium and I just got a porcupine puffer 2 months ago idk if I'm feeding him properly I just want to know when do you feed them and how much I feed him tel his belly bulges out and then he sits on a live rock in the corner. Am I feeding him to much or what I work 10 to 12 hours a day and only feed him at night around 6 to 7

So I'm guessing I'm overfeeding him then?

If he looks uncomfortable, then yes. How large is he?

5-6 inches big he's almost a year old

Are you guys with bloat experiencing egg clutches being laid????. Like monthly. I' think im facing ny 3rd time with her in 3 months. Didn't observe anything of note the 1st time accept bloat. Next day eggs. Her second clutch I was paying attention. Agitation. Food indifference. You get that dismissive eating. Then the bloat excessive swimming . The bloat appears like a partially inflated blow up in her hind half. That's about 24 hours and then the eggs. And I mean everywhere. Massive amounts. Anyone else have experience dealing with this?
