wonky belly??
It sounds really strange, but I just fed my C.Irrubesco Slugsy and his belly is quite round but seems to be just on the left side. Is this normal? his belly always gets quite big when I feed him, am I over feeding him? It shrinks back to normal within a few hours and his poo is black, so i don't think he has worms. I'm probably worrying over nothing but I just want to be sure!

Re: wonky belly??
My puffers' bellies, when they have just eaten, are often lop-sided for a bit - but then before too long it all gets evened out.

Re: wonky belly??
my fahaka does it as well when he eats fast and dont chew his food,but then it levels out.
its nothing to worry about,they have stretchy bellies so you can see the shape of the food in them almost.

Re: wonky belly??
My Fahaka does the same thing...sometimes it seems like he eats so fast that he doesn't chew his food either and when it comes out it looks a lot like it did before it went in..
