Try not to overfeed. How many do you have?

Agreed, 4-5 inches of food is way too much for a 3 inch fish. His stomach should be slightly rounded, not bulging, after his meal. Overfeeding fish is like overfeeding humans or any other animal, its not healthy.

I don't let his stomach Get to grossly big and now that he is good and active and eating real nice I bring my puffers at this stage from daily feedings to everyother day or every every 3 days but no longer daily feedings

Not to get too off topic, I remember another user doing it in the text portion of some of their posts. This is the first time I have seen someone's user name like that.
