Bloat!!!

I've finally gotten around to getting good pics of my porcupine puffer.
He's been lonely since his lionfish buddy died last week, but he seems to be doing better now. After the lion died, he didn't want to eat. He had a couple pieces of krill last night. His only tank mate is the 3-stripe damsel now.

 

Awesome creepy cool looking fish! Hope it begins to eat better for you

 

very cool fish!

will he let you pet him lol?

 

Does he do a barrel roll?

 

Are you planning on getting him another buddy?

 

Yeah, he lets me pet him without stressing out. He'll lay in my palm as well. I'm undecided if I'll get him a new buddy though. There are few fish that will get along with a puffer well once they are mature. He and the lion both started about 2" long when I bought them, they were babies.

 

Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :d :d

 

poor thing, his best mate died and now he's stuck in there with one of those little b******s

 

Thanks PC!
He keeps that damsel in line. I've had that damsel for almost 6 years now. It was the one that started all my cycles in my tanks. That guy is a warrior and has mellowed out since my puffer rammed him once.

 

i watched a puffer fish take out a silverside at my LFS. if he wants the damsel, and gets a hold of him, it has no chance lol nice guy you got there.
