Green Spotted Puffer Diary of sorts.

[mrairportjunke]

Well guys, today I picked myself out 2 Green Spotted Puffers.  I was gonna get one but this one that looked like he could use alittle extra TLC so I got him also.  One if very healthy lookin and the other one looks like he just needs someone to make sure he gets plenty of food.  He has a hellava appetiete.  Both of them do actually.  Wel they seem to be lovin there 10 gallon so far.  Can believe that there jumpers though but man they are.  The keep jumpin up outta the water testin the top I guess.  The most unique thing about them so far is that they make this clicking zipper zip kinda noise.  Hard to describe so thats the best I can do.  But its funny.  My wife walked in the door and was like whats that noise.  LOL.  Its funny.  Well I will try and take some pics and post them for all to see.

Re: Green Spotted Puffer Diary of sorts.

They noise you are referring to is probably caused by their teeth. You probably hear it when they are eating. I have never seen my spotted puffer jump out the water.

The most unique thing about them so far is that they make this clicking zipper zip kinda noise.  Hard to describe so thats the best I can do.  But its funny.  

i know what you mean by that noise- used to have two little buddies and they would make that sound every time they would get fed- i think it's the noise of their beaks opening and shutting/chewing or something.  they're awfully cute when they're small.
