Ever wake up to a scary situation???

[Kolton13]

So every morning I wake up to admire my gulper(shrek) because every morning he’s pretty fun to watch. But this morning something was off his stomach was 3X the size and I don’t have anything he could’ve eaten and gotten that big. So I rushed to my messages to find a good friend of mine kno4te because if you don’t know he’s really good with diseases and such. Also if your reading this Ron I’m so sorry for texting you so early. But I was so scared. He are some pics of what happened

Then I went upstairs for like 10 minutes and come down to this

Glad it’s all gone. Wonder if any other gulper keepers seen this. Wonder if it’s a regular behavior.

I’ve never seen him do it before, scared the crap outta me??

That’s bizarre, I wonder if that is part of where their name comes from?

Possibly, it went away so fast tho. It was like I suck in my chunk to look skinny???

Were all his tank mates accounted for?
Maybe he had it is his mouth and then spat it out after you left. ?

Interesting, I know puffers sometimes inflate themselves to basically keep from getting rusty when it comes to puffing, perhaps gulpers inflate to keep their stomach able to expand so much? Given I’ve not yet kept a gulper it’s pure speculation. thebiggerthebetter what do you think?

All tank mates are here. And if they weren’t they’re so small it wouldn’t make his stomach this big
