The Puffer Forum

My 7 inch Topaz has a suspected air bubble trapped just behind and below her dorsal fin. I have tried to burp her many times in accordance with all available web information. When I hold her upright for burping, the lump disappears and there is nothing hard to feel. She swims listing to one side and rests on the bottom of the tank almost on her back with air lump uppermost. She doesn't float on the surface. I finally saw her eat last night. This has been going on for about three weeks now. I'm at a loss now what to do. There are no vets in the S. Yorkshire area that have any experience of this.
Sorry, my imageshack 30 days is up and i can't find a simple free image hoster.
