Hi all ,newbe here
I have a puffer that I got about two months ago, i was doing a reef tank but I really missed having a puffer so I gave up the reef tank
Anyway my puffer is 12 inches long ,he was tank raised and at one time would not eat anything but freeze dried krill
I know have him eaten allot of good stuff ,he is a gentle giant and does not want to eat smaller fish, had him in there with a small wrasse about one inch long and he was afraid of it
Anyway decided to try another fish so I went with a spotted grouper, the really get along well except the grouper took his bed, i call it is bed because that's where he likes to sleep, he hates laying on the sand so I built him this little house with live rock, even has a bottom so he does not ha to lay on the sand
Anyway now he lays on the sand right in the front of the tank close to the glass looking sad and hurt
I Hope you don't think I'm crazy but puffers seem to show more of there feelings or when there upset or hurt
I feel really bad, thinking maybe I will take the grouper back to the store, the guy already told me I could bring it back if it does not work out, told him I have a puffer that's a big baby and love to be the center of attention, i do love him though ,there personality is what made me switch to salt water years ago
