Green Puffer prob/Waroo info?

[SoulFish]

Ive had my Green puffer for about 3 months in a 10 gallon slightly brackish (i will get bigger when needed) he has always been shy but in the last 2 weeks whenever i clean the tank he begins darting into the walls for about 10 minutes after im done. I dont make any sudden movements but it makes no difference, whats strange is he still comes to the front of the tank whenever i come into the room, any ideas?

Also does anyone have an information on Waroos/Uaru

Is it a Hex tank?

I've heard of fish getting confused by them when they dart...

no just normal size i have found that curiously music sometimes calms him down faster, is this even possible?

There are 2 species in genus Uaru, but only one regularly for sale. Very similar in conditions and sensitivity to discus. Bear in mind as not too many are tank bred, they are likely to be as tricky as wild caught discus (read very tricky, soft, acid, pH 6). Tank bred would be much easier. 20cms long, need to be kept in groups apparently or they're prone to sulking. Fry feed on body slime.
It's a fish I've never kept, but would like to try. The only times I've seen them for sale are when I've been travelling and not in a position to take them.

my puffer does the exact same thing when i scoop un eaten food out of his tank. but after i stop he comes to the front of the tank to say hi! i started using the same net to clean his tank that i use to give him brine shrimp, now he doesnt even sweat it.
