Sounds like he's likely swallowed some air. You'll need to try to burp him. Try holding him underwater with his head pointed towards the surface and stroke his tummy.

It was air managed to burp him!! But I think it was to late finding him!! Just seemed to twitch around for a bit afterwards and some colour came back but he then passed away ten minutes or so later!!
RIP My little Buddy Puffy

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. At least you know what to do if it happens again to another puffer.

Very sad this morning as tank lights came on and I suddenly realised whole tank was setup and now running with no Puffy!!
Good news although not decided yet for certain LFS is getting some F8's in this next week! Only went to get tap water treatment!

If there's nothing else alive in there, make sure you keep using some food or something to deteriorate and keep the bacteria alive.
