[chevy_girl]

Ok so ive had a couple porcupine puffers in my lifetime... and i decided to buy a new one for my 75 gallon tank and there just so happened to be an incredibly active baby one at the fish store today... i get her home put her in the tank and for the last four hours shes swam back and forth up and down over and over again across my tank... ive never seen a porcupine puffer do such a thing... any ideas whats goin on here??

Welcome to the forum...

could you tell us a little more about your tank? How old, water parameters, other tank inhabitants, ect...

Are you talking about a porcupinefish?
and if so do you have a Bridled burrfish or a spiny puffer?
because if it's a spiny puffer,what type of reef stacking do you have? because the spiny puffer like ledges and crevices and if it don't have a place to hide in the day time it can just be a scared juvenile.
