so every morning when i wake up i go and turn on the lights on my GSPs tank. This morning I woke up and did the same thing, except i slept in so i was about half an hour late. Well Verde (my GSP) comes and greets me at the front of the tank, "yawns" and puffs up! He was a good 3 inches from side to side, if not a bit more. And then deflates him self and swims away, I feed him his krill and he continues on like normal.
Now here I am sitting there saying "that was the coolest thing i've ever seen" but thinking about it. Ive read that puffers only "puff up" when theyre threatened or stressed. So I checked my water params. Everything checked out good.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: between 10-20
Ph: around 7.5
Salinty: 1.006
Should I be worried about this? Or was this just a fluke, or maybe the light startled him?
