Fahaka Puffer question.. kinda urgent.

[electromen]

I fear that during acclimation my new fahaka might have puffed in some air... Its barely noticeable, but he looks a little more swollen than before I put him in the tank. I now worried because the swelling hasn't gone down and I know puffers are susceptable to having air getting trapped inside.

What now?

i really dont know much about puffers, but i do know that they will puff up when stressed...could simply be getting used to its new surroundings

If it puffed up with water it should be fine. If it was air, read this article.

Thanks for the article. I'm guessing that I can tell if he's holding air or not by seeing if he's floating upside down or not.
