The Puffer Forum

My puffer was going for a piece of krill when he swallowed a bit of air, now he continues to float to the top.

I tried using the technique to deflate a puffed puffer but squeezing his belly was too scary for me.

Please help. I think he's going to get too stressed out from the intense swimming.

Grab him by the tail, holding his tail down & mouth upwards (vertically)under water & shake him back & forth till he burps. This is why FD foods should be soaked before feeding.

My figure 8 is fine now. I guess he just pooped it out over night.. or something. I shouldve known. I usually soak my krill but I was getting ready to sleep. Lesson learned, there are no shortcuts to taking care of puffers.
