So, my blue puffer died after three days in the new 90g tank..
Something just didn't strike him right from the beginning, and I think the damsel's abuse was too much.. I'm going Damsel hunting very soon!

The porcupine puffer seems to be doing okay. He swims around the tank when hunting for snails (My number of little snails has dropped quite a bit) and likes to sleep in one of the two corners he's claimed as his.

My question is; how much to feed him? He will eat EVERY time I offer it, so I don't wanna over feed. I read that when feeding my eel, I should feed him til he stops taking food, then not feed him for about a week. Should I do the same with the puffer?
Also, does anyone else's puffer curl up like a dog sometimes? I just wanna know if this is normal behavior...
 
I have one of the small puffers (Tobies) and mine curls up like a dog and sleeps on the protein skimmer or on the rocks. First time I saw that, I freaked out and thought he was dead. Now its just funny to watch.
