Bobbing turgidus
Yesterday, I moved Leo, my turgidus, into a larger established tank. Today, I noticed him acting goofy for the first time. His new tank has a stronger Aquaclear filter on it and creates a little more current than he's used to. He's puffing up, then bobbing around under the outflow of the filter. Then he'll unpuff and move to the side and rest a bit, then puff up and start bobbing again. Its the funniest thing to watch.

Re: Bobbing turgidus
Is there any way he can see his reflection in the new tank?
My cochinchinensis used to do something similar till I put him in his new tank. Target puffers are cool, and stuff like this is proof.

Don't think so, there's a backing on the tank so I don't think it reflects. He doesn't seem to be looking at the glass, just bobbing up and down in the current.

Re: Bobbing turgidus
i recently changed over my filters to aquaclears and noticed that the current is much stronger than other HOBs. So, i took a piece of plexiglass an glued with silicone it to the out-pour. This got it closer to water and also deflected the current more towards the surface. It was kind of a hastle, but the outcome was good.
