My Gsp

[alex.wardle]

I love my little puffer. He has got on well with out tank mates (supprisingly), he is now eating properly but he just paces the glass in one corner. My other puffer swims and explores the full tank all day long.
My tank is well planted with lots of hiding places
Any suggestions.

EDIT - now I can.

Can we see a picture of the whole tank?

i apologize for the reflections cant be helped at this time of day.
There is normally 4 pieces of bog wood in the middle of the tank but have removed to soak for a few weeks as i am fed up with brown looking water.
There he is on the right by the filter. pacing!

From what I have read about puffers, they really need LOTS of things in the tank to explore. I'd say that your tank is a little sparse and that he is showing signs of being 'bored'. I'd get some more plants and wood/rocks in there for him to interact with.

Well i plan on putting the Bogwood back in at the end of the week. Hopefully that will help.

Hi, I'd say you definitely need more fro him to explore. Also try putting something in the corner her is surfing in...should stop him!
