Strange Porcupine Puffer behavior

[jfingers]

The past couple of days my porcupine puffer has to lay on top of my Stars and Stripes puffer. He follows him everywhere and makes sure that he is contact with him at all times. No biting or aggression involved. I’ve had this porcupine for almost 20 years. Still eats well. Just will lay there for hours if he has to. Always a very active swimmer. Anyone ever witness anything like this?

Cool. But a 20yr old pp that small? I’ve seen them bigger than a football

Maybe picture is deceiving. He’s a foot in length.

Very funny though, maybe it's love. This barbfish liked to crawl all over my rhino, not incessant just every now and then, funny though but I think the rhino was bothered. The rhino is a female, just saying. Or even just friendship, puffers are very personal, it's hard to pet a porc, although I always petted my doggie puffers. Or showing dominance, as humans we can psycho analyze all day.
