Nope, no puffing...which is good as puffing up is bad for them. Thanks for the compliments...he is really neat...
Hey Mark, saw him at Japarto's and he was soo healthy and outgoing I just had to have him, and my new shrimp/goby combo that I got from Japarto too! They had a few interesting things there when I was in Vic on the weekend...

I love porcupine puffers... and he's a cutie!

Just keep an eye on him... they tend to get ich really easily. Our puffer will get ich just to spite us .

Enjoy him!

Really nice picture and a cool fish. I really like porkies but don't they get big or am I thinking of another puffer?

U might see your porc to puff from time to time. Porcupine puffer known for the behavior that they like to practicing puff up. I seen mine doing that couple of time already. Mine especially love to puff up when seeing me around the room on the computer and didn't give attention to him. He spit water to the tank top. if still not getting attention, he puffed.

I asked the Puffer Forum, and it's normal behavior for Porcupine puffer to puff up for attention.

thanks for the kind words everyone on the pic...he is pretty cute...and thank you Diana for the caution with ICH. We did have a bout of ich with this tank in the past, dealt with it, and have a UV sterilizer but it is not working...I think I will try harder to get it's problems dealt with so I have another means of fighting ICH on him if it comes to that! Thanks again....

and yeh they do get large Ruth but I don't think they are horribly fast growers....you see I have a method to my madness...husband fell in love with these puffers...so I bought this cute "little" fella....just wait til he finds out I need a really really big tank! ha ha ha!
