    All,
    I picked up a Dogface Puffer from my LFS the other day.....do they ever puff up? I thought the stress from the new home would have him all crazy puffed, but not yet. Nick

    Puffing causes them extreme stress and can introduce air into there body that will eventually kill them. The goal if you own a puffer is not to make it puff
