What does your Puffer do?

My porc puffer sits at the bottom of the tank, in the far corner all day. The only time he comes out and swims is around 10:15 PM, since he knows this is feeding time. I was just wondering if any of your puffers share this personality, or if yours are more active? Thanks.

yeah, mine lays around unless he is hungry, and someone walks up to the tank. He always likes to greet them with a little spit of water. :D

sounds like a typical puffer. Mine perches on the rocks all day until about an hour or two before feeding time at which point he swims up to the glass and swims back and forth trying to get your attention so you'll feed him.
The odd thing is after I feed him and his fat little belly is bulging out he still sits in front of the glass trying to get more food, I think these fish would eat till they explode :eek:
 
My puffer swims accross the tank about 10 hours of the day straight then lays down for about 4 hours and does various things for the other few hours. He is REALLY active.

Our porky is about 15 inches and he does pretty much the same as yours, except ours puffs up once a day and floats around for a couple of minutes and then goes back and lies down.
