figure eight puffer

[n2csb]

First off i would like to say hello to everybody , i am new to this site and
this is the first topic that i have wrote. i am from London , England and
would like to give a big shout out to all those fish keepers out there

I am after abit of advice about Figure 8 pufferfish. Every time i feed my
figure 8 ( normaly bloodworm ) he gets a very fat belly which satys with
him for along time and he seems to get abit lazy after eating.
Is this normal ? Am i feeding him too much ?


If any one has any useful information on figure 8 puffer fish then i would love
to know.

Many thanx to u all , and look forward to reading more of the great fish forums

all puffers will feed like this and it's definitely nothing to worry about.

Hi n2csb

Welcome to the forum!

It seems perfectly normal, puffers stomatch's are ment to stretch because of their puffing ability so he should be ok. Although i woudlnt suggest feeding him till he has a huge belly, slightly rounded would be ideal, as over feeding is bad for the fish and water quality.
