my puffer threw up

Post by volcomkrew4life »

Well I just fed my GSP a few small pieces of clam meat and some frozen mysis shrimp, nothing out of the ordinary. He wasn't bloated at all or over-fed but he suddenly seemed to throw it all up at once and then eat it again. Should I be concerned? He's swallowed stuff and then spit it back out before but never thrown everything up like this. It wasn't violent or anything.

If the food came up in a big lump its possible that it needed further chewing. If its not a regular problem i wouldnt worry too much
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
