Triggermen i would be concerned, puffing up like that seriously stresses the fish out and can cause damage to it aswell. when the puff up like that, the stress on the fish is so high it can sometimes kill them. for these fish you need to keep excellent water quality. the eyes on puffers have a tendency to become hazey and blurry, kind of like a grey film on the top of it. this is because the water quality is not up to standards, try to keep nitrates under 2ppm and no detectable evel of ammonia or nitrites. if you can do this the fish will live a long time, keep in mind that it stops puffering it's self up like that.
Guys,guys
That's not my fish,I pulled that pic off the net.
I was just sitting at the computer and he was just testing the system.
Puffer owners claim that they will occasionally puff up even when not threatened.

Yeah, I freaked out one day when my fugu puffer decided to puff massively for no reason at all. Just swimming around, then Bang! Only time Ebert ever did it.Triggerman said:

Be careful when you move him . You'll want to catch him after lights out under water and release him carefully under water. You don't want him getting a belly full of air. I know it's going to be a while but like you said he's too cute!
