I took my puffer back to the store last night and traded him for some other tank friends. I got another cleaner shrimp and about 20 turbo snails for the trade.
Here is the deal, when I got home last night from work I found the puffer in the corner of the tank all freaked out. The green cromis were on the other side of the tank freaked out as well. When I stuck my head near the tank where the puffer was, he shot out from the corner like I was gonna bite him. I thought that was really odd behavior for a puffer. When we first put him in the tank the shrimp jumped on him and gave him a bath... I thought they ate shrimp. After that he just hung out in the back of the tank like he was hidding.
Does anyone here know if this is normal behavior for a puffer or have any suggestions on what went wrong with him? Did I do the right thing by tanking him back to the store?
