Fuzzy Dwarf with Smoking habit?

[rainbowsix]

My wife just called and said my fuzzy dwarf that I just got yesterday has been blowing smoke all day. Anyone have an idea to what he is doing?

Releasing some steam? Lighting a cigarette? LOL

Hmmm not sure kinda got me worried. She said it seems to be coming from his rear, so unless he ate Chili last night before I bought him, I am worried

Mine did that about 2 weeks after I got him. He did it onnce and seems just fine... I don't think I would worry to much..

Thanks rooroo, but I would love to know what he is doing for future reference.

Maybe he did eat chili. As long as everything comes out good in the end he should be fine.

V-Lioness,
Yes it is whitish, milky looking. I am going by what my wife is telling me, but she said it looked like smoke rings or something.

Shedding it's skin? Sperm?

 

[sacremon]

Lionfish will periodically slough off the layer of slime that coats their skin - it relieves them of accumulated algae and/or parasites. Perfectly normal as long as it isn't too frequent.
