I know it might be difficult, but is it possible for you to get a picture of this?

The reason I ask for a pic is to see if it is a pufferbite.

Puffer bellies get round after eating. The more aggressive puffs will usually get more food and eat first...it's probably just a full belly. As far as the spot, I'll leave that to the experts :)

They only need to eat until their bellies are slightly rounded. What are you feeding them?
