I have had my dwarf puffers (3 of them) for about a week and I have noticed that every couple of hours or so, all of them get together and cruise around the tank. I have never read anywhere that they do this and has anyone else seen this happen?
Schooling Dwarf Puffers?

Most young puffers school, some maintain that practice for life (South American Puffers especially). Many drop the practice as adults, but the DPs tend to hold onto the practice a bit if the tank is large enough.
My two little puffers do that... although what is sooooo funny to watch is when my youngest son takes a toy or something and stands in front of the tank moving the item around right in front of the glass. The puffer fish will follow him for hours. Not long after to puffer start following him the barbs, swordtails, mollies, white clouds and zebras join in.
