Karma_Bug Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Mar-2007	My larger figure 8 puffer just did something VERY odd....it was at the bottom of the tank....with it's tail curled at a relly weird angle not swimming or moving or doing ANYTHING! But it's eyes were moving around and it was breathing fine....The other puffer was swimming around it like it was fine. WHAT IS IT DOING???

A puffed out puffer can choose to curl up and sit immobile on the gravel. A few species are known to do it. Its not necessarily anything to worry about as long as when it stops doing that its fins arent clamping or anything.

If he is taking nps, then the puffers in your tank are getting along just fine. "There is also a Clown Pleco in this tank some where. I am telling you, HE IS IN HERE."
