My stars and stripes seems to have his side fin stuck in his gill what can i do if anything to help get it out???
PLease help coz he's lovely!

If he dosen't work it out himself, just catch him in a net, keep him under the water and remove it from his gill. He should be ok and be able to do it himself. Elvis has done that before.

thank you for the quick reply! it just looks really odd! how long should i give him till i try and help him?

It's kind of like Al Bundy keeping his hand in his pants. He'll pull it out, when he's ready.

he has obviously had enough of hiding his fin /comforting himself now and has removed it! lol

Yeah, all of mine do that from time to time. Lazy puffers.
