Nice puffer man, id love to have a puffer myself but most puffers dont really like tank mates unfortunately.

That is the disadvantage with these guys, but with a fish that only gets about five inches or so and fairly inactive, at least its not a huge tank dedicated to him. He does great in his 40B with an AC110. I have been thinking to redo my 72g bowfront and move him in there and maybe try a large swarm of white clouds. He really does not like to have to chase his food so I wonder if it might work....

Thank you! He is a very interesting and interactive fish. The puffing thing he has just started to do. In the evenings he will puff up for no reason and then he looks like he burps to release all the water out and deflates pretty quickly.
 
Most I see at the lfs are just sitting in the corner, is it just yours or will most become active with a bit of space? What do you feed yours?

I did this this my old congo puffer. White clouds tend to occupy the top, so they don't get picked off very often. I started with 25 and just kept adding a few more every couple of months as they started to thin out.

I have mine in a low traffic area but he responds to me coming in and does the 'feed me' dance. I feed him earthworms, shrimp in shell, clams and pretty much any type of raw seafood. Mine pretty much responds to food that falls. If he see that it pretty much gets attacked.

Thanks for the info bottles. I have been thinking to totally deck out the 72g bowfront for the puffer and the white clouds seemed like an inexpensive tankmate.
 
Cool. Why does he puff up atm, aggression or panic? Seems odd if he is doing it randomly or do they have a stretch now and again?
