What do you mean by sucked it in?

he pulled the fin into his gil opening. I actually tapped his side a bit with my hand and it came right out!!

I think it is a normal action. I have seen my larger puffers do this all of the time.

I think it is because they are lazy.

Is that like a human picking their nose?

so you decided to hypo your yellow dogface as well as your other one?
Have you left both main tanks fallow?

Kind of. More like just leaving your finger in your nose until someone comes by and catches you.

Or like Al Bundy with his hand in his waistband all the time.

yeah, i decided to better be safe then sorry. Theyre both doing really well. The yellow-belly much better than my other dog face. Today he ate 5 silversides. The normal looking dogface ate half a cube of formula one but its better than not eating at all. How are all your fishies doing?
