missing any fish in the tank? He may be constipated. I'm not sure what to do, but i would massage his belly a little. maybe that would help

HOw do you massage a fish's tummy? I massage my sons, and i imagine its much different. Sketch (puffer) has a soft tummy, not hard or anything. and it is all softish... i dont want to rub off any of his slime coating so i didnt rub too much. He is gonna be hard to net next time! when he sees mee looking in the tank, he hides in the the caves. what do you do with a constipated fish? I cant dump laxitives in his tank... lol.

Don't stress out your puffer any more than he needs to be. Just let his stomach handle himself and all will be well. In the future, maybe you could just try not to feed him so much at once.

he just needs to take a Sh*t. Just kidding. Let it handle itself. Don't feed it so much.
