Question

Spitting Water


Ok here is a goofy question. Why does my puffer spit water at me when I am feeding them. Not feeding fast enough? He is a pig and eats more than the rest already. lol

Maybe he thinks he's a llama???

Not sure, to be serious and honest. I've never heard of that before!

Fish do goofy things, my foxface sucks air from the top of the tank and blows bubbles out of his gills. It's funny to watch. I found someone else that has a foxface that does the same thing. No clue why they do it.
