Do You Try to Scare Your Fish?

Posted by Sarah on June 12, 2009

Someone found the site while they were searching for information about how to scare their puffer.

Do you scare your fish?

I don’t normally try to scare the fish – if I think they are dead I might get the net out and check, and I’m sure that scares them.

I also show the bettas the mirror so they can get some excercise by flaring at it, and while that might scare them, I’m not really sure.

Have you ever tried to scare your fish?

I just realized this person probably wants the puffer to puff up, but I don’t think that normally happens unless something is wrong.

8-ball didn’t even puff up when he jumped out of the bowl we were transporting him in when we moved him from one tank to another.

Of course that’s a good thing since puffing up out of water can be bad for the puffers, and since I don’t know how to treat that I’d have to waste time looking it up online.

Hopefully I’ll never have to know.
