Porcupine Puffer In My 75 Gallon Tank Puffed Up
Loading...
Uploaded by 02048384 on Jul 15, 2009
This is my porcupine puffer named "BLOAT" he sometimes puffs up for no apparent reason, only once in a while he does that, I was lucky that I had my digital camera near me to catch him in the act. He is a cool little guy he is a baby puffer not yet full grown, he eats at the tips of my fingers, he is very friendly I sometimes even pet him. He is one of my coolest fish in my tank.

Would you know by any chance if this exact fish would eat a cleaner shrimp when in the same tank?

@fishmaster1231 are you fucking retarded, 55 gallons is not nearly enough room for a puffer they need minimum 100 they grow to a foot long...

@eblocker1016 I have one and he is peaceable- but I wouldn't keep him with smaller fishes- my fish has a formidable set of jaws, I am sure he could eat a small fish. I have seen it eat a 2-3 inch long cocktail shrimp with little problem, and the puffer is only 4 inches long.

They do it every once in a while to make sure their skin dosent tighten up so they can keep it loose. In case they have to puff up for protection at some point they dont want their skin to tear.

HOP ON THE BACK AND CLEAN? Is your puffer a male or female? Also a hint to other- puffers are interested in the aquarium so it may be that their are plenty of distractions for him so maybe that is why?

you really got a beautiful tank!! And a very cool fish

im trying to get a puffer but the store keeps telling me they will eat all my fish. im hoping its depends on its personality

I have had my puffer for a long while now and he doesnt eat my fish and my coral I also have a linkia star fish and a cleaner shrimp in with him and they are fine he even allows the cleaner shrimp to hop on his back and clean him. If you keep him well fed their shouldnt be a problem. Just dont over feed cause your Nitrates will go off the roof. But I think it does depend as well on each of their personalities. Mine is very calm.
